. Comparative anatomy. Anatomy, Comparative. CRO-MAGNON Fig. 184.—Skulls of fossil men restored, left lateral aspect. Australopithecus, how- ever, as its name implies, is an ape rather than a man. Opinions differ as to whether pithecanthropus is man or ape. Sinanthropus is indisputably human. While none of these fossil types is believed to be in the direct line of ancestry of modern man (Homo Sapiens), their discovery proves that more than one species of man has inhabited the earth. It is also significant that, with the exception of Cro-Magnon man, the earlier species of men were more ape-like
