The jaw of Homo gardarensis'.
''Homo gardarensis'' was the name mistakenly given to partial humanoid remains found in a burial at Garðar, Greenland, which is a 12th-century Norse settlement. Original statements compared the remains to Homo heidelbergensis but this identification was subsequently disproved. The bones were classified as the remains of a contemporary human who suffered from acromegaly, and put away at Panum Institute in Copenhagen.
DISCOVERY.[]
In 1927 an archaeological dig by the Museum of Copenhagen investigated Garðar. During the excavation of the
Garðar Cathedral Ruins, a large jawbone was found, as well as a large skull fragment. These were sent to the laboratory of Professor F. C. C. Hansen [da] in early 1927.[2] He believed that the bones were that of a 40 or 50-year-old Norseman who had reverted to type. He published a preliminary account in the newspaper "Berlingske" in 1929.
