"Flatheads (Neanderthaler)". "Following Boucher, Héléna, Matthes and Williams portraits of humans are to be recognized. Contrary toexpectations, but corresponding to their findings, in the older traditions not only 'Flatheads' were found but also clear 'Sapiens' forms not unlike robust modern humans. Since the portraits outnumber by far the often fragmentary fossil skulls and give more a life image, the evolution of certain physical types can be followed in time and space with more precision."

[Note: 'Warlingham, Surrey' is a mixed site with Middle Palaeolithic and Acheulian. (bottom) Rijckholt, NL.]
