A human skull has been excavated from the Tayak culture layer in the Fontéchevade cave in France. Interpretations of this bone are largely divided between those who believe it to be Neanderthal bones and those who believe it to be pre-Sapiens.

From [Pre-Sapiens]

Since PM Boule (1913), many anthropologists have proposed various phylogenetic trees, but it was the French HV Vallois (1954) who compiled them. The term pre-sapiens was first used by the German G.
