Anthropological research of Azykh man osseous remains

Abstract

The peculiar combination of all the characters of the Azyky cave, where a mandible fragment has been found, permit to isolate the Azykh man as a special local variant of chronologically early palaeoanthropus and to name him “Palaeoanthropus azykhensis”.

The discovery of the Udabnopitek at the Western border of Azerbaijan and of the Pre-Chellean culture in the Azykh cave gives subtantial evidence to the fact that the territori of the Eastern Transcaucasus is the part of the vast region where the umanization of ape took place.
