 Krapina Cave   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Krapina Cave, located in Hrvatsko Zagoje, Croatia, is home to what is considered “the most spectacular Neandertal find.” Most hominid discoveries contain scattered and/or shattered bones and, on occasion, a skull.
In 1899, Dragutin Gorjanovic-Kramberger uncovered what is now referred to as Krapina Man. This was not the discovery of one man, but the excavation of approximately 884 bones depicting almost 75 different individuals, most of whom died between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four.
She came to the conclusion that the Krapina population did not practice cannibalism, yet the bones had been ritually defleshed for a secondary burial ritual.

 Neanderthals X-rayed @ University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The nature of the extensive bone breakage pattern on all of the skeletal elements has led many researchers to propose that the Krapina peoples were cannibalized.
In 1905, Krapina had yielded more human remains than any other site known at the time; today it remains one of the richest hominid fossil sites ever discovered.
The radiographs, 884 in all, have yielded a great deal of information, including some surprises that led to re-categorization of some fossils: on closer examination, 9 specimens turned out to be animal bones and not human, while 37 fragmentary bones, thought to be from animals, were identified as hominid.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Evolution
Add to this that, according to the latest researches, Pithecanthropus must have been a contemporary of primitive man, since the strata in which the bones were found are diluvial.
Hence Pithecanthropus cannot belong to the ancestral line of man. The bones of the Neandertal race of the Homo primigenius are undoubtedly human, and have given rise to renewed interest through the valuable discoveries made in Krapina.
The Neandertal skull itself serves as a type which, owing to the low, receding forehead and the strongly developed supra-orbital ridges, appears to be very primitive, though no one knows the actual geological conditions of the place where it was originally deposited.
