these are some of the many answers
that have been given within the last
century.
Very few persons now accept the first
OF these estimates, which formerly was
almosS universally regarded in Christian
countries as resting upon divine author
lty. The evidence afforded bv geology
demands several tens OF thousands of
years, at least But this evidence is
incomplete and ineKact for several rea-
sons, one of which is thar it is difficult
TO fix, with certainty, the precise loca-
ton in the strata of the earth's crust
OF some Of the ancient human remains
that have been found. while another is
that there is disagreement of authori-
ties concerning the character of the
very earliest Of the supposed human
remains.
difficulty Of another kind arises
from the practical impOssibility of &C
curotely applying the measure of years
10 the geological record. The geologist
knows that certsin strata We're formed
earlier or later than certain other
strata, but he can only make more or
less probable estimates concerning the
number Of centuries required for the
formation Of those strata. There can
be no doubt. however, that the human
race is at least 10 times older than the
5000 years said to have elapsed since
the creation of Adam.
Every year the evidence becomes
clearer that several successive races
OF men lived in, Europe ages before
any historical records were made or
thought of. The great, primary divis-
ION IS between the men OF the paleoli-
tnlc, or old stone age, and those of the
neolithic. or new stone age
The pa3eolithic races certainly lived

One Of the greatest puzzles about
early man is the fact that some of the
very Oldest human skulls that have
been found exhibit a remarkable brain

clent time would seem to have had
brains as large as the average of today.
The socalled 'CrOma gnon men" had
even larger skulls than the average
European OF our day. But there were
others whose skulls resembled those Of
apes or monkeys.
