How Old Is the Human kacci

The fullest answer tIat science n
vet give to the three most interesting
questions perhaps ever asked IN the
world are explained IN an article in tho
Forum, by DR.. Daniel G. Br:nton, the
ethnologist. These questions are:
when did the first mnu APPEAR
"By what process did he appear and
"Where did he APPEAR Summln /,
up all that biologists and a%nthropolo-
gists know he appeared certainly 3d.
0)0 years ago. and 1t NAV be as many
rs 900, 900 years ago. The evidences o.
his existence which date back 80, 900
years<are unlnistakable. BY what pro
cess he came into being science has 10
definite answer. If it refuse to accept
the doctrine of specific creation, it
must refuse also, for lack Of complete
evidence, to accept the doctrine OF
gradual evolution-the Sid Darwinian
doctrine. DR.. Brinton thinks the
theory of evolution by q leap is as
good as any other theory. According
to this, man sprung from ONE high
o-.ler OF mammal, the great tree ape,
perhaps, by q freak, just as men OF
genius are freaks, AM as oil the vege-
table and animalkingdom show freaks.
As to where man first appeared it is
beyond doubt hat his earliest home
was in southern Europe, or Asia, OF
North Africa. No earlier traces o.
him haye been found than those found
in tie area that is now England.
