Chancelade man

Chancelade man or the Chancelade find is a male skeleton of an ancient anatomically modern human found in Chancelade in France in 1888. The skeleton was that of a rather short man, a mere 1.55 m (5.1 ft) tall. Early interpretations was that the skeleton was that of an Eskimo, but modern researchers have grouped the skeleton with the Cro-Magnon (in the wider sense) since the 1960s. The term European early modern humans is today preferred for this expanded assemblage.
