Note 178 — VI HUMAN HISTORY

The remains found at the station of Raymonden, Chancelade, and described by Testut (Bull. Soc. d’Anth. de Lyon, vol. viii, 1889), are now generally classed with Cro-Magnon man. As Testut says, Chancelade man possesses ‘tous les caractères propres aux races supérieures’. The cranial capacity was 1,710 c.c. But there are certain features in which it departs from the ordinary Cro-Magnon type and certain features in which it resembles the modern Eskimo type—particularly in the shape of the cranium, the sides of which tend to slope up and meet at an angle. The possible significance of this will be referred to later.
