The discovery of the remains of Neanderthal men in a cave in the south of Poland might alter evolution theories of Mankind.   

Report by Slawek Szefs

The remains of three Neanderthal men have been found in a cave near Bobolice in the Krakowsko-Czestochowska Jura, a Jurassic system of limestone cliffs and caves. The discovery of teeth fragments confirmed earlier speculations on the prehistoric hominid subspecies inhabiting the region.

Traces of the Neanderthal appeared in Europe and Asia some 600 thousand to 350 thousand years ago. They have also been traced in Poland, but never before have actual remains been found. The discovery points to a crucial theory that the cave where the remains were found served as a burial place of many.
