Azykhantrop

Azykhantrop is a name given to a fossil representative of Hominidae, a lower jaw of which was found out in Azykh Cave, in the territory of Hadrut Rayon of the Azerbaijan SSR, in 1968, by Azerbaijani scientists led by Mammadali Huseynov. It belongs to so called pre-Neanderthal man (precisely to pre-Neanderthal man of Heidelberg type). But it should be known that these excavations don’t belong to ancestor of modern human, because, at present, scientists don’t consider Neanderthal men as ancestors of modern people.
