CANNIBALS NEAR BOSTON.
Professor Sinner Finds at Ipswich
Relics of NeoIithic Type.

Relics of Neolithic Type.
Observation-Disclosures made by As
sistant Professor II. w. Sinner of the
Institute of Technology of a shell
mound at Ipswich led him to believe
shat the earliest New Eglanders, who
lived 5000 to 5000 and perhaps 10000
years ago, were cannibals.
Professor Sinner says:
"the neolithic type, such as lived in
New England, was of lighter bone
structure than the Neanderthal man OF
Europe and had a greater brain ca
pacity. Our prehistoric type lived here
during the bronze age in Europe and
central Asia. These Americans were
no doubt descendants of the eastern
Asia stock. Their bone formation con-
forms with the bone structure of the
early people OF that continent"
