The Earliest Men.

Recent studies by Professor Penck
in the Alps, combiaed with those of
Mr. Hugo Oberma,er. distinguished
pupil of Penck. in the Pyrenees. have
had the effect Of considerably shorten
ing the estimate Of the length OF time
that has elapsed since prehistoric man
left the marks OF his presence In Eu-
rope. It now appears that both in the
Alps and the Pyrenees there exist con-
temporary geological records showing
four successive periods Of alternate
advance and retreat Of glaciatiOn-
Heretofore It has been considered
probable that prehistoric men dwelt
in the neighborhood OF these noun
tains during the last two invasions OF
the ice, but the new evidence Is re-
garded as proving that 1t was only OF
the last or fourth. glacial advance
that man was living witness.
