About this eBook

Author Huxley, Thomas Henry, 1825-1895
Title On Some Fossil Remains of Man
Credits Produced by Amy E. Zelmer, and David Widger
Summary "On Some Fossil Remains of Man" by Thomas Henry Huxley is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. It explores the anatomical features of fossilized human skulls discovered in Europe, specifically focusing on specimens from the Engis cave in Belgium and the Neanderthal site near Düsseldorf. The book seeks to examine the evolutionary significance of these skulls and their implications for the understanding of human ancestry. Huxley meticulously discusses the features of the Engis and Neanderthal skulls, detailing their dimensions and anatomical characteristics while comparing them to modern human skulls and those of other primates. He analyzes the degree of intellectual development suggested by these specimens and addresses the wider implications of fossil evidence for understanding the origins and evolution of humanity. Ultimately, Huxley concludes that the evidence does not necessarily provide a clear transitional link between humans and their ape-like ancestors but rather highlights the complexity and diversity of early human existence.
