LECTURE ON ASIA.
Prof. McGee's Discussion of Cradle ol
Humanity.

Prof. McGee's Discussion of Cradle of
Humanity.
A lecture of much interest was delivered
yesterday afternoon in the Columbia Thea
ter by Prof. W. ]. MCGEE. His theme was
asia, the Cradle of Humanity" and it
was the final lecture in the course given
under the auspices of the National Geo
graphic Society. The large audience heard
with appreciation the scholarly treatment
of subject which attracts at this time
much popular attention. The lantern slides
admirably supplemented the words of the
lecturer.
Prof. MCGEE spoke of the large popula-
tion of Asia, comprising, 1t does. six
tenths of the population of the world. Civ
nization f1ourished there long before the
history of the west began.
1T is to ASIA" said the lecturer, 'the
student turns for the greatest empires that
history ever knew. Most of the known
of the worlds literature found it's origin In
Asia. All of the nine world religions were
nurtured in Asia. Modern science. math-
ematicS, astronomy, chemics, etc, origi-
mated in Asia Seen in any light, her as
pect is majestic. 1t is easier to deal with
the affairs of all the world than those of
Asia The worlds entire range of culture
phases is represented in Asia. The genesis
of primeval Asia is lost in the hazy mist
on Asia as the birthplace of homo sapiens.
Traces of earliest mankind, students and
anthropologists agree. can be found along
the shores of the Indian ocean" Prof. Nc
Gee disputed the genesis of mankind as
springing from one human family.
