The Origin of Mmm.

DR.. Ludwig Buechner, the German
naturalist, delivered last night at Stein
way Hall his second Of a course Of four
lectures on natural history. The subject
was the origin OF man, In connection
with the theory Of the origin and devel-
opment Of life After explaining the
Darwinian theory Of the origin of life,
the lecturer characterized the hypothesis
that nan is a descendant Of the monkey
and ape as absurd. The higher classes
Of monkeydom-the gorilla, thechimpan-
zee, and Orang-outang were, be said, only
our cousins, and there was some satisfao-
ton that these ugly animals were not our
ancestors. But there was no doubt that
they descended from the same ancestor
who was the foreiather Of man. The
origin Of man must be looked for in q
tropical region, probably Southern Asia
or Africa, during the Tertiary period.
There is a theory that between Southern
Asia and Africa there existed a now
sunken continent, called Lamuria, of
which there are traces in the numerous
islands, where according to some authors
the origin Of man was placed. The an
ceetor Of man was described az a hairy.
long-headed animal, with long arms and
short legs which, by the development Of
the brain and its moral attributes, resul.
ted in the development Of man. If the
origin Of man is placed in the Tertiary
period, the time of the origin Of man
must he traced back hundreds Of thouu
ands of years.
