At the end of 1960, Giuseppe Ragazoni, professor of geology at the Institute of Technology (Brescia, Italy), worked in coral deposits near the village of Casteidollo at the foot of the Callede Venta hill.
“When I was looking for shells in the coral bed, I got my hands on the top of the skull, completely covered with pieces of coral, glued together with green-blue clay,” wrote Ragazoni. "Extremely surprised, I continued searching and found bones of the ribcage and limbs, which clearly belonged to the human race."
The professor showed the bones to geologists. “Without much confidence in the circumstances of the discovery, they expressed the opinion that since the bones did not belong to a very ancient individual, they were from a modern burial on this terrace. Some time later I returned to the same place and was able to find several more bone fragments in the same condition …"
December 1979 - January 1980 there, Ragazoni, with the help of Carlo Germani, found many fragments of several skeletons. “All the bones were completely covered with clay, small fragments of corals and shells, so that they even penetrated deep. All this dispels any doubts that these are the bones of people buried in the burial ground, and confirms the fact that they were carried by sea waves."
And on February 16, 1980, Ragazoni and Germani found a whole skeleton, "enclosed in a mass of green-blue clay, it belonged to an anatomically modern woman." The skeleton was in a layer of blue clay more than 1 meter thick and retained its integrity. “Probably, by a tragic accident, the person fell into the sea mud, and was not buried, because then it would be possible to find blotches of yellow sand lying on top and an iron-red clay called "ferreto" - wrote Ragazoni. The age of blue clays from Castendollo is 3-4 million years …
In 1983, Professor Giuseppe Sergi from the University of Rome visited Ragazoni and personally examined the human remains. He determined that they belong to four individuals: a man, a woman and two children. Sergi then went to Castendollo:
“I went there on April 14 with Signor Ragazoni. The trench dug in 1980 clearly showed the geological sequence of the layers. Except for the almost complete female skeleton, most of the bones were found among shells and corals under blue clay, as if they were scattered on the same plane. This confirms that the owners of the bones drowned near the seashore. The waves scattered the bones along the bottom surface."
After making sure that the bones of modern humans who lived 3-4 million years ago were found, Sergi said: “The tendency to deny, due to biased theoretical concepts, any discoveries that can confirm the existence of humans in ancient times, is, in my opinion, a kind of scientific prejudice."

Armand de Quadrefate, author of The Races of Man, writes:
“There is no serious reason to doubt the discovery of Ragazoni, and if it was made in a Quaternary deposit, then no one would dare to challenge its correctness. Nothing can be against, except for previous theories, not related to experience. However, complete opposition to the discovery of Ragazoni persists to this day.
Ragazoni probably did not know that 30 years before its discovery, in 1950, also in Italy, 300 km from Castendollo, in the city of Savona, workers digging a trench found a skeleton of an anatomically modern man in a geological layer at a depth of 3 meters, which was 3-4 million years old! In 1967, Arthur Iossel, a professor in Geneva, made a detailed presentation of the Savonian find at the International Congress of Prehistoric Anthropology and Archeology in Paris.
He stated that "the Savonian man is synchronous with the layer in which he was found." At the next congress, in 1971, Father De Gratias, who studied paleontology, made a presentation on the same topic.
Stating that the find in Savona was in no way a burial, he noted that the body of the Savona man “was found in a stretched position, arms extended slightly forward and downward, the body was above the legs, like a person in water. Can we assume that someone was buried in this position? Is this not the position of the body, given to the mercy of the water element? The skeleton was found on a slope in a layer of clay, making it doubtful whether the water had moved the skeleton from the opposite side of this obstacle. If it were a burial, the upper layers would be mixed with the lower ones. However, nothing of the kind was observed."
It remains only to state that these discoveries were very soon safely forgotten. Over the years, no one has ever tried to research these artifacts.
For more than a century, Darwin's idea of the evolution of man from ape has shaped the scientific approach to accepting or denying facts. Anything that contradicts it is carefully screened out, and thus the comprehensive credibility of Darwinian theory is artificially maintained. But there are objectionable facts …
