...first Neanderthal bones were dug just about the time that Darwin astonished the world with his announcement that man and ape were descended from a common ancestor. Neanderthal's apish image was further enforced by the writings early in this century of the respected French paleontologist Pierre Marcellin Boule. His portrait of Neanderthal as a stunted, beetle-browed creature who walked with bent knees and arms dangling in front of him served as the model for several generations of artists and cartoonists.

"The mayor's office must certainly have been aware that the dance hall was operating without official authorization," said French Interior Minister Raymond Marcellin.

At a Cabinet meeting, Interior Minister Raymond Marcellin urged that the 2,000 member Proletarian Left Movement be suppressed for plotting to "destroy and overthrow the constitutional regime and to incite citizens to arms against the authority of the state." The government quickly complied. The following day the two editors of the Proletarian Left's newspaper were convicted and sentenced to prison, one for eight months...
