 Skull of the "Neanderthaler" |
In the Neander valley (German "Neandertal", or "Neanderthal" by the old
spelling) near Düsseldorf, in 1856 strangely formed human-like bone
remains had been found. While experts believed them to be deformed by an
illness at first, the teacher Johann Carl Fuhlrott
recognized them as remains of a pre-historic human.
This "Neanderthaler" discoverer, later on professor, founder of
paleoarcheology, and also eminent by other scientific research work,
is related to my grandfather (und thus to the Fuhlrott descendants)
even via two paths:
• via his grandfather on his father's side (Joseph Fuhlrott, a brother of two of my great-great-great-grandfathers from the Fuhlrott descent line). |
