Homo gardarensis is the name given to partial remains in a burial at Gardar, Greenland in a 12th-century Viking settlements. Original statements compared the remains to Homo heidelbergensis but this identification was subsequently disputed. Mark A. Hall considers the form to be valid and representative of his category "Marked Hominids" or "Troll" sightings as opposed to the Sasquatch or other yeti types. Homo Gardarensis has been used as a possible theory for many Homonid cryptids like Chuchunaa. One theory for the Gardar remains could be a subspecies of Neanderthal or a half evolved race of Humans. Some people think that Homo Gardarensis still exists and there have been a story of a tall, strong "Neanderthaloid" man called Man of Gardar which could show as potential evidence for existence of H.Gardarensis

Hall's Natural Wonders website gives the original illustrations for the partial skull remains.
