sitions first that the fragmentary Skull anu INV
er jaw are those of one of the race OF men VINO
made the rough but wellfaked flint implements
and secondly that he was contemporary with the
other animals whose bones or teeth have been
here found. namely, the mastodon and the rner-
dional" or southern. elephant and therefore that
the man was Of the Pliocene age IL must. now
ever, be strictly asserted that we have as yet no
proof OF the truth of such suppositions. The
human bones the flint implements, and the mas
todon and southern elephant teeth may be eacn
OF a totally different age and yet all brought
together by slow wearing away OF the solid
ground by water and the subsidence OF some OF
it's harder constituents into one maj graVel ue-
post at this present day.
On the other hand If we look at probabilities.
there is some reason to hold that the man (of
the Jaw and skull did not live later than the
makers OF the rough flint implements, since no
flint implements OF later type occur in this
gravel
To say that he was contemporary with the
mastodon and Pliocene elephant, because their
fragmentary remains occur side by side with his,
is more than we are justified in doing. But 1t is
quite true that there is nothing to prove that
they not coeval
The strongest argument against their being
coeval is that the fragment OF human skull and
the lower jaw were found near each other. and
therefore were probably Embedded for the first
time in the existing gravel. and not washed out
of previous deposit.
The Heidelberg jaw is the most impressive OF
all the remains of primitive man yet discovered.
Though it is so extraordinarily powerful In
breadth and thickness and 30 thoroughly apelike
I'm the absence Of chin. yet the well-preserved
teeth are thoroughly human and not ape-ke az
all.
The canine (marked C in my drawng) is as
small as in ourselves. There is approach TO
the great projecting dog teeth Of the ape (see the
figure Of the chimpanzee's jaw. Yet the more
slender Sussex jaw. owing to its long union or
symphysis beginning as far back as the letter
"g" in the word Fis) is more ape-like and less
human. II had almost certainly great CANNES
and large front teeth.
1t IL to be expected that other specimens will
be found in this same gravel when further ex-
plored which will throw more light on the gen.

down man belonged and on the question OF the
