h. Neanderthal man -- Considered last, yet the first ape-man found in Darwin's day. Of the cases stated above, all tried to make men out of apes. Now we will see how they make apes out of men. In 1856, in the Neander Valley of Germany, a school-teacher discovered a skull cap, 2 femurs, 2 humeri and other fragments. A careful examination and description by Professor Schaafhausen reported them to be human and normal. Two years later, 2 similar skulls were found in Belgium. Subsequently over 60 parts of skeletons were found in 11 different countries. (Indeed, they are still being found-but more on that later). In 1908, Professor Boule of The Institute of Human Paleontology in Paris declared Neanderthal an ape-man because of his low eye brow ridges and the stooped over posture of some of the specimens. This was to shape opinion and teaching for most of the 20th century. However, in 1950, things began to change. An embarrassing fact came out. Neanderthal man's brain capacity was larger than modern man's!!! By over 200 cc's!!! One wonders if this fact would have been hidden if it had been 200 cc's less??? Modern tests, including electron microscope scanning have proved that Neanderthal man, at least the stooped over ones, suffered from acute osteo-arthritis. Now lets talk about modern excavations. So many Neanderthal skeletons have been found now that all evolutionists cringe from the name. Not only skeletons either. Stone tools and iron tools have been found in quantity. Not only that but the iron in the "London Artifact", which was found in the same age layer of rocks, shows a pureness that we can't duplicate today. Also, it was forged using chlorine in the process somehow as 2% of the iron content is chlorine. Chlorine wasn't "invented" by modern man until well into the 1900's!! Evolutionists have finally come up with a ready answer for their problems with Neanderthal man. They have decided he was an evolutionary dead-end. On what basis ? The fact that his brain cavity was 200 cc's larger than modern man's! Evolutionists couldn't have Neanderthal be a true man. After all, he had a larger brain size. That would mean evolution didn't work. If everything is a constant upward progression, Neanderthal just wouldn't do. Hence.... evolutionary dead-end. How weak!
