THE Food OF MANN the present status of
research, the earliest authentic traces of man
on earth 60 no further back than the age of ice,
so called, and the accompanying or subsequent
formation OF the diiuvium or drift. The relics
OF man dating from an earlier epoch, the upper
miocene formation, that is, the middle of the
tertiary group, which are said to have been
found in France, are at least very questionable.
But there have been preserved for us in cav
ems remains dating from the ice age, which
tell us of the food used by man in those times
Man then inhabited central Europe in COM
pany with the reindeer, the cave bear, and the
mammoth. He was exclusively hunter and
Usher, as Is shown by the bones OF animals found
In his cave-dwellings. The miocene vegetation,
which abounded In arboreal fruits, had dsap-
peared during the long period Of the subsequent
pliccene formation, the climate of central Eu-
rope, meanwhile having gradually become cold
er, nature supplied no fruits for the food Of man.
What food he got by hunting and fishing was
precarious, and there were intervals of famine
for fortune does not always smile on the hunter
and the beasts Of the forest are not ALWAYS
equally numerous. The good, too, was uniform
and not altogether adapted for man, for the
flesh of wild animals lacks fat. The man of
those times had not enough Of the heat pro
ducers in his food and that he felt this want, we
learn from his taste for the marrow of bones
All the long bones If animals that are found In
eave.dwellings are opened lengthwise, in order
to get out the marrow. Now, this insufficient
uniform food has its counterpart In the low
grade of culture which then prevailed as eyi.
denced by the mode OF life, the weapons. ana
the tools. Man then lived isolated, without so-
cial organization; he dwelt In caverns, and his
only protection against the cold was the skins
Of animals and the fire on the hearth. His tools
were OF stones unpublished, unadorned; 80 rudely
fashioned that only the eye of the connoisseur
can recognize In them mans handiWork.-Pop.
