Viola T. Dobosi: Paleolithic Man in the Által-ér Valley (Tata, 1999)

Fig. 14. Vértesszőlős, location of Early Man occipital bone tooth belonging to a 6-7 year old child were found. In 1965, during the extraction of the external wall of the calcareous tuff basin, the occipital bone of a grown-up man was found. The formal characteristics of the find agree well with other remains of Homo erectus, and is especially close to the Sinanthropus remains found close to Beijing. The volume of the skull estimated on the basis of the occipital bone, however, is exceeding the extent of skull volume typical for this period. This fact is a good testimony for the mosaiclike pace of development; proving that the development of the whole human race and that of the single individuals are not of universal force and even pace. The totality of the mosaic pieces will draw the great tendencies of evolution. 33
