The New International Encyclopædia/Furfooz Race

FURFOOZ (fur′fōz′) RACE. From brachycephalic skulls found at the Trou de Frontal, Furfooz, Belgium, this type of mankind is supposed to date from the end of the Quaternary period, just at the commencement of the Polished Stone age. The first appearance of broad-headed man in Europe at Furfooz, as well as at Grenelle and Cro-Magnon, associated with longheads, took place at different dates in the Neolithic period. Mortillet places the Furfooz man in the Robenhausen epoch of the Neolithic period, and also says that the associated relics have been disturbed.
