THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION 



Fig. 291. — How a reconstruction of the flesh over a skull can be made (c/. Figs. 



285 and 292). 



A, skull of a member of the Neanderthal race found at La Chapelle aux-Saints, France 

 (from Boule). B, reconstruction of this skull with aid of other specimens showing the 

 missing parts. C and D, addition of flesh after careful comparison of size of muscles, 

 thickness of flesh, etc., in apes and man. E, the completed reconstruction of A. F, similar 

 reconstruction of a man of Cro-Magnon, one of the prehistoric races of Homo sapiens 

 with a brain capacity equal if not greater than that of the modern European. (Copyright
