Recently there have been found in a cave at Spy, Belgium, two nearly complete skeletons, which seem to be of the same type as the Neander- thal man, and with the latter are supposed to belong to a distinct and very early race. They are believed to have been men of short stature, broad-shouldered, bowed thighs, slightly-bent knees, and semi-erect posture, but nevertheless distinctly human.
