HALABELLA | The Old Man Of La Chapelle | THE OLD NEANDERTHAL MAN @halabella6 | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
La Chapelle-aux-Saints is a cave site near the village of La Chapelle-aux-Saints in central France where the bones of an adult Neanderthal male were found in 1908 and was dubbed the old man of La Chapelle. The skeleton of"the old man of La Chapelle" was the first relatively complete skeleton of a Neanderthal individual that scientists had ever found. No one had seen such a complete Neandertal skeleton before but the discovery generated controversy as always.
The initial reconstruction of the Old Man by the paleontologist Marcellin Boule didn't do the finders any favors but it was when Boule added flesh to the bones he created a stooping, bent kneed, fur-covered creature with divergent big toes that looked more ape than human. Over the past century, the skeleton has been re-examined and re-interpreted several times.
