Alexander James Edward Cave FRCS FLS (13 September 1900 – 17 May 2001)[1] was a British anatomist.
He also became Arnott Demonstrator and Professor of Human and Comparative Anatomy at the Royal College of Surgeons.
Cave was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) in 1959.
He was a staunch Roman Catholic and got involved in several attempts to authenticate church relics.
[1] He and William L. Straus are known for having published jointly during 1957 the remark concerning Neanderthal people that: "If he could be reincarnated and placed in a New York subway— provided that he were bathed, shaved, and dressed in modern clothing— it is doubtful whether he would attract any more attention than some of its other denizens."
