French paleontologist, a pupil of Gaudry, director of the institute of human paleontology in Paris. He is remembered for the description of the nearly complete fossil skeleton of a representative of Neanderthal man, in the classic work L'homme fossile de la Chapelle-aux-Saints (1912), in which the evolutionist preconception stands out clearly. He left numerous monographs, especially concerning Quaternary paleontology (cf. Les hommes fossiles, 3rd ed., Paris 1946).
