Chancelade man (the Chancelade cranium) is an ancient anatomically modern human fossil of a male found in Chancelade in France in 1888.[1] The skeleton was that of a rather short man, who stood a mere 1.55 m (5.1 ft) tall.
Due to morphological differences with the Cro-Magnon 1 cranium, early interpretations postulated that the individual belonged to a separate lineage, possibly ancestral to Eskimos.
G. M. Morant in 1930 recognized the skeleton as within the morphological range of Upper Paleolithic European populations, and this interpretation has remained accepted since.[2][3]
