The Schmerling Caves (also known as Grottes d'Engis , meaning Engis Caves ) are a group of caves located in Wallonia on the right bank of the stream called the Awirs, near the village of Awirs in Flémalle , Belgium . The caves are notable for their past fossil finds, particularly of hominins . They were explored in 1829 by Philippe-Charles Schmerling , who discovered, in the lower cave, the remains of two individuals, one of which, now known as Engis 2 , was a fossil of the first Neanderthal ever found; the other was a Neolithic homo sapiens . Also known as Trô Cwaheur or Trou Caheur , this lower cave has since collapsed. A third cave was destroyed because of work on the adjacent quarry , the Ancienne Carrière des Awirs.
16-570: The caves have been classified on the list of Cultural Heritage of Wallonia [ fr ] sites since 1978, as well as Exceptional Cultural Heritage of Wallonia [ fr ] since 2013, because of the Neanderthal fossil. Schmerling named the caves for Engis because he accessed them from the Plateau des Fagnes, which is in the Engis commune. He was able to reach them by lowering himself with

Retrieved from " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrimoine_immobilier_classé_de_la_Région_wallonne " Case sensitivity In computers, case sensitivity defines whether uppercase and lowercase letters are treated as distinct ( case-sensitive ) or equivalent ( case-insensitive ). For instance, when users interested in learning about dogs search an e-book , "dog" and "Dog" are of
48-403: A function is defined in lowercase, it can be called in uppercase, but if a variable is defined in lowercase, it cannot be referred to in uppercase. Nim is case-insensitive and ignores underscores, as long as the first characters match. A text search operation could be case-sensitive or case-insensitive, depending on the system, application, or context. The user can in many cases specify whether

80-463: A rope and sliding down the slope of the rock face. The caves themselves are actually within the boundaries of the commune of Awirs . In 1951, a local group "corrected" the error by placing a plaque at the lower cave, identifying it as the Schmerling Cave. Schmerling thought he had found the remains of three people in the caves. In the vicinity, he also found tools fashioned by humans. The tools and
96-468: A search is sensitive to case, e.g. in most text editors, word processors, and Web browsers. A case-insensitive search is more comprehensive, finding "Language" (at the beginning of a sentence), "language", and "LANGUAGE" (in a title in capitals); a case-sensitive search will find the computer language "BASIC" but exclude most of the many unwanted instances of the word. For example, the Google Search engine
112-407: A source code tree for software for Unix-like systems might have both a file named Makefile and a file named makefile in the same directory. In addition, some Mac Installers assume case insensitivity and fail on case-sensitive file systems. The older MS-DOS filesystems FAT12 and FAT16 were case-insensitive and not case-preserving, so that a file whose name is entered as readme.txt or ReadMe.txt
128-578: Is basically case-insensitive, with no option for case-sensitive search. In Oracle SQL, most operations and searches are case-sensitive by default, while in most other DBMSes , SQL searches are case-insensitive by default. Case-insensitive operations are sometimes said to fold case , from the idea of folding the character code table so that upper- and lowercase letters coincide. In filesystems in Unix-like systems, filenames are usually case-sensitive (there can be separate readme.txt and Readme.txt files in
144-605: Is saved as README.TXT. Later, with VFAT in Windows 95 the FAT file systems became case-preserving as an extension of supporting long filenames . Later Windows file systems such as NTFS are internally case-sensitive, and a readme.txt and a Readme.txt can coexist in the same directory. However, for practical purposes filenames behave as case-insensitive as far as users and most software are concerned. This can cause problems for developers or software coming from Unix-like environments, similar to

176-419: The carvings made with silex led him to argue that "antediluvian" man's hands must have been responsible even if human remains hadn't been found; Schmerling was thus one of the first to accept the existence of a prehistoric human. The child's skull was not identified as Neanderthal until 1936. A monument for Schmerling, consisting of a bust on a base made of stone, was erected at the foot of the hill in 1989; it

MacOS is somewhat unusual in that, by default, it uses HFS+ and APFS in a case-insensitive (so that there cannot be a readme.txt and a Readme.txt in the same directory) but case-preserving mode (so that a file created as readme.txt is shown as readme.txt and a file created as Readme.txt is shown as Readme.txt) by default. This causes some issues for developers and power users , because most file systems in other Unix-like environments are case-sensitive, and, for example,

But when they search an online encyclopedia for information about the United Nations , for example, or something with no ambiguity regarding capitalization and ambiguity between two or more terms cut down by capitalization, they may prefer a case-sensitive search. Case sensitivity may differ depending on the situation: Some programming languages are case-sensitive for their identifiers ( C , C++ , Java , C# , Verilog , Ruby , Python and Swift ). Others are case-insensitive (i.e., not case-sensitive), such as ABAP , Ada , most BASICs (an exception being BBC BASIC ), Common Lisp , Fortran , SQL (for
224-508: The syntax, and for some vendor implementations, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server , the data itself) Pascal , Rexx and ooRexx . There are also languages, such as Haskell , Prolog , and Go , in which the capitalisation of an identifier encodes information about its semantics . Some other programming languages have varying case sensitivity; in PHP , for example, variable names are case-sensitive but function names are not case-sensitive. This means that if

Another gallery ascended into a second, smaller, chamber which was strewn with bones: There was a third cave, to the east, which was destroyed in the exploitation of the quarry. Later researchers who explored the hill found two more caves, one of them

At its entrance, in 2m of soil, Schmerling found: The lower cave was known as Trô Cwaheur. It also opened to the north but has since been destroyed following collapses in 1993 and 2006. At the time of Schmerling's exploration, it measured 4 m wide by 5 m high. A first chamber
