Cro-magnon

Fossil mandibles from the "La Chapelle-aux-Saints" Man and Cro-Magnon "old man" are considered to be representative of Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon era. Radiographic studies of such mandibles - including C. T. Scan and panoramic views in common use in maxillofacial surgery - allowed the authors to make useful comments: the mandibular canals are nearly similar to those in Modern Man and quite different from those in Pongidae; the imaging was of adequate quality for a good evaluation of fossil internal structures...

In the following work a morphognostic and morphometric analysis of a diluvial calvaria from Sande/Paderborn in Westfalia is presented. Besides the above, absolute dating by two methods (Radiocarbon- and Amino-acid-dating) was applied. The morphological comparison shows strong affinities to comparative material from the Upper Pleistocene like Cro-Magnon. The absolute dates support this morphological analysis. Both findings--morphological analysis and absolute dating--were done in separate analyses and will be documented separately in the following article...

The problem of the Teutons' origin has been considered to be open up to this day though some scientists have worked on this field since 1912. Anthropologists and linguists as BRAUN, FEIST, GUNTERT, KOPPELMANN, PAUDLER and V.D. VELDEN produced many evidences in favour of the hypothesis the Teutons to be a mixture of the Old European Cro-Magnons speaking an archaic ural-altaic idiom with the Indo-Europeans immigrating into Europe from Asia. The Kelts may have a similar origin but they might include the Berbers of ancient Iberia as a third component...
