THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN.
\ Nineteenth Century. riT T H.
| In the early part Of the present cen
tury there was, indeed, no possibility
OF doubt or disagreement on this sub
ject, for did not every educated person
know that the world was created in
the year 1904 b. c.? More recently,
however, while some leaders in our
schools of science have reached the
conviction that it is probable that
mankind came into being one hundred
thousand years ago, others see reason
to believe that this is almost as ab-
surd as Archbishop Usshers quaint
chronology, and that the human race
has existed on the face Uf the earth
formorc thana' million or even two
millions years. t"' Ht
The theory which would limit tile
duration of mans existence to one
hundred Thousand years is based main
ly on the grounds that no human bones
have been discovered anterior to the
, Quaternary epoch. But Sir Charles
Lyell more than twenty years ago
pointed out that although many hun
} dred flint implements, including Il
large number Of knives, had been col
lected in the alluvial sand and gravel
in the valley Of the Somme not a sim
gle human bone had been found there
. in. THE Absence he writes, "of all
vestige Of the bones which belonged to
that population by which so many
weapons were designed and executed
affords a most striking and instruct.
i've lesson in regard to the value of
negative evidence, when adduccd in
proof of the noD-eXistencc of certain
classes of terrestrial animals az given
periods of the past"
He also instances the ease of the
Lake Of Haaren, extending over 45,-
600 square acres, which the Dutch
Government. by means of powerful
pumps converted into dry land in the
year 1853 "T'here has been," he OBJ
serves, "many shipwreck and many
naval fight in these waters, and hun.
dreds OF Dutch and Spanish soldiers
and sailors had met there with a wa
terry grave, yet in the deposits which
had constituted for three centuries
! the bed of the great lake no human
bones could be, found" One or two
wrecked Spanish vessels, some arms
Eof the same period, a few coins and
some shells were. all that were dis
covered. . ...s ,..t i7rs1I
