| Summary |
"Der Unterkiefer des Homo Heidelbergensis: Aus den Sanden von Mauer" by Otto Schoetensack is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book documents the discovery and analysis of a human mandible found in the Mauer sand deposits near Heidelberg, contributing to the field of paleoanthropology. It explores the geological context of the find and its significance to understanding early human evolution. The opening of the work sets the stage for a detailed scientific examination of the human mandible unearthed on October 21, 1907, in a sand quarry near Mauer, Heidelberg. It describes the geological composition of the area, the various fossilized animal remains discovered alongside the mandible, and the efforts taken to document the find comprehensively. Schoetensack emphasizes the significance of the discovery as a critical piece of evidence for the coexistence of early humans with extinct megafauna, such as the Elephas antiquus, and outlines the multidisciplinary collaboration involved in studying the fossil's context and characteristics.
