COVER 



Head of Neanderthal man, sculpted by Joseph B. Krstolkh, a Field Museum 

 artist from 1941 to 1972. His five Neanderthal figures, now to be seen in one of 

 the eight dioramas in the Hall of Prehistoric People, were completed in 1972 and 

 replaced Neanderthal figures done four decades earlier. Krstolkh 's reconstruc- 

 tions were based on new information about the appearance of these people, who 

 survived until 35,000 years ago. Krstolkh is also to be seen on pages 15 and 18.
