About Dragutin Gorjanović-Kramberger

Dragutin Gorjanović-Kramberger, Croatian geologist, paleontologist, and archaeologist (died 1936) Gorjanović-Kramberger discovered, described, classified, systemized, aged, and determined environments for numerous new species of fossilized fishes. In 1899 on Hušnjak hill, near the Croatian town of Krapina, he discovered a very rich Neanderthal site, the Krapina Neanderthal site of an early man today known as Krapina Man (Croatian: Krapinski pračovjek). With time he realized that evolution was the source of variability which created human individuals of different stature. In 1895 he used newly discovered X-rays to analyze inner bone structure.
