Neanderthal fossils of the skull of a man were discovered in Neander Valley in Germany. The discovery of these fossils convinced millions that scientists had now proven the ToE of man from ape-like ancestors. However , further research has reveal that Neanderthal Man was actually a modern man. An analysis of the deformed skull revealed that this deformity was caused from a Vitamin D deficiency. This Vitamin D deficiency produced the disease know as rickets, which accounted for the unusual ridges over the eyebrows and his curved leg bones.
Most people who were taught the ToE in high school still believe that modern humans are descended from cave man ancestors with heavy ridges on their eyebrows. However, not one of the other fossilized skeletons in the supposed evolutionary series has demonstrated these heavy brow ridges.
Scientists have concluded that all of the so-called primitive features of the Neanderthal people were due to pathological conditions, or diseases.
Neanderthal skeletons are now officially classified scientifically as homo sapiens neanderthalenis. , in other words, as normal humans. Interestingly , these Neanderthal men possessed skulls with a brian that is actually larger then the brains of most humans alive today.
