[11] It is perhaps worth making the suggestion that these
anthropomorphic figures with their animal snouts may in some cases
be caricatures, at the hands of the ‘Men of Cro-Magnon’, of the low
negroid element of the population--the ‘Men of Grimaldi’ of Dr.
Verneau--with their markedly prognathous jaws and broad nostrils.

analogy with New Grange. Compare another sculptured slab of the same

1864, Plates VII-IX). Similar ‘ship’ signs occur on the slabs of Mein
Drein.
