Description
The Furfooz, Furfooz race or Grenelle-Furfooz Men were the first anatomically modern humans of the European Upper Paleolithic, alongside the Cro-Magnon and Grimaldi Man. In 1866, the archaeologist Édouard Dupont discovered a prehistoric lower jaw in the Trou de la Naulette, a cave near the village of Furfooz in the Belgian province of Namur. A further excavation the following year led to the discovery of other cranial remains, including a complete skull. The remains at Furfooz are dated to the Magdalenian period, or slightly earlier from 20,000-15,000 years ago. Image taken from Primitive Man by Louis Figuier, 1870 (cropped and cleaned).
