title: [Reconstruction of the postcranial skeleton of an infant of Neanderthal man from Kiik-Koba (the Soviet Union) (author's transl)].
abstract: The first study concerning the postnatal skeleton of Neanderthal man gives us information about the development of the skeleton of Neanderthal man in the earliest stage of postnatal ontogenetic development. The very good state of preservation of the postcranial skeleton of the infant of Neanderthal man from Kiik-Koba in the Crimea made it possible to carry out for the first time a graphic reconstruction of the entire skeleton in norma frontalis and norma lateralis, in natural size. In this way we have obtained the necessary information for evaluation of body height, for the establishment of body proportions of an infant of Neanderthal man, and for a comparison of these proportions with those of a recent infant of a European that is on the same stage of ontogenetic development.
