SIDE-VIEW OF A PREHISTORIC HUMAN SKULL DISCOVERED IN 1921 IN BROKEN HILL CAVE, NORTHERN RHODESIA

Very striking are the——prominent eyebrow ridges. And the "broad massive face." The skull looks less domed than that of modern man. But its cranial capacity is far above the lowest human limit. The teeth are interesting in showing marked rotting. Or "caries," hitherto unknown in prehistoric skulls. In all probability the Rhodesian man was an African representative of the extinct Neanderthal species hitherto known only from Europe.
