2 unusual facts about C. Loring Brace


C. Loring Brace

His ancestors were New England schoolteachers and clergymen including, John P. Brace, Sarah Pierce, and the Rev. Blackleach Burritt.

In 1962, Brace published a paper in American Anthropologist titled "Refocusing on the Neanderthal Problem" where he argued, in opposition to French anthropologist Henri Vallois, that the archeological and fossil evidence did not necessarily support the idea that the Neanderthals were replaced by Cro-Magnon populations migrating into Europe, rather than being ancestral to early Homo sapiens.
