Scientifically known as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, the Krapina prehistoric man was discovered in 1899, when geological and paleontological research started on Hušnjakovo hill in Krapina.
Excavations, supervised by professor Dragutin Gorjanovic-Kramberger, a well-known Croatian geologist, palaeontologist and paleoanthropologist, lasted six years (1899 – 1905). His works significantly contributed to European and global science of the fossil man.
