Synopsis
Excerpt from Discovery, Vol. 3: A Monthly Popular Journal of Knowledge; January to December, 1922
On the other hand, Dr. Smith Woodward, in describing the skull, called attention to certain features in which it displays the characteristics of modern man. The brain case is modern in type and its thickness is not greater than in modern man. Its capacity, so far as can be judged without accurate measurement, is well above the lower level of the modern type. The upper j aw is perfectly human the skull has a well-domed palate and the teeth are human and not simian. The jaw is of remarkable size. Unfortunately, the lower jaw is missing, but, as Dr. Smith Woodward has demonstrated by means of a model, even the massive Heidelberg jaw is not large enough to fit the upper jaw of this skull. In another respect this skull is strikingly modern. The foramen magmmz, the aperture by which the Spinal cord enters the skull, is centrally situated, whereas in the apes and in primitive types of skulls it is situated nearer to the back of the skull, giving the head a forward carriage. Rhodesian man's head was balanced in a perfectly upright position on the trunk.
The teeth are in an extremely bad condition. Not only are they very much worn, as in all primitive skulls.
