were being made, and which were at

practice Of defloration as recognized
custom. the holding Of yrginity MS

man from going 10 heaven, and the
right Of the tribal chief or village

discoveries which have remade ancient his

tory.
Well, it appears that the letters were
evolved on Cretan soil from the picturesque
writing imported from Egypt. If you have
never done 50 think what the letter means
today. Excepting, perhaps, the wheel II Is
easily the most important invention in his
tory. So we owe the letter 10 Crete. The
Chinese gave us an instance Of what this
means Every one knows that they nave
made no progress for ages. How can they,
with an alphabet which consists Of 600
pictures and takes a lifetime to begin to
learn? With letters anything is possible.
Today the Chinaman paints two strokes or
legs to represent man, and BESIDE them
oblong figure to represent mouth;
thereby he means "a man who stands by
his word" Letters. as DR.. Evans has
proved, have a European history alone of
1000 years, yet one-fourth of mankind still
writes in pictures today.
I spent a long time studying the muscles
and veins of the Cretan forearm of 1900
years ago, as shown in some of DR.. Evans
wonderful photographs. Their arrange
ment is Identical to the smallest detail with
that of the surface veins and muscles in
the arm that writes these words. These
statuettes constitute, in my opinion, the old
est exact anatomical records in the world,
and my study of them leads to the conclu-
sion that in 4,0C0 years. there has been no
change in even the minute details of the
forearm of man. In other words evolution,
so far it affects the body has stopped.
The last great step was taken when man
became upright and could use the fore
limbs upon which his ancestors had walked
for writing, fiddle playing, invention and
all the other numberless uses to which we
put hands. But the Oldest anatomical
evidence we possess, or are likely to pos
sess, proves that physical evolution has
stopped, and doubtless we shall lose our
teeth and nails and may develop other
things if occasion needs, but the final step
has really been taken. The survival of
the fittest' in years to come will mean the
survival of the mentally and morally
fttest Crete and DR.. Evans, at any rate.
have supplied us with presumptive evidence
that no physical change of any real mo-
ment has occurred in the human form dur
ing the past 1000 yaars This is perhaps
the most unlikely Of all the wonderful dis
coveries of which DR.. Evans had only an
inkling when he first pushed spade into
