How did the color distinction orig

a natural division in the species of man,
each originating from his own distinc-
tive source and section, such aS existed

G. +. O. Cleveland
You have got in your teeth the
oone of contention between the
"mOnOSenists, who hold that the
different races of mankind are only
varieties orisirating from one com
mon species and the "polygenists.
who believe that each of the priu-
cipal races originated from a sep
alate species, Just at present the
mono senists, perhaps, have the u9-
per hand in the opinion of the
scientific world, but the famous re
mark of the judicious sir Roger de
Coverley that there is much TO be
said on both sides" appears 10 be
happily applicable in this case.
OF course. if the yellow, the white
and the black race each spranS
from its own independent root there
is no difficulty in accounting for
the existeH"e of their distinctive
colors. on the other hand. if all
have btcn developed from sinSle
source it is nice problem to eX.
plain how they cot their separate
COlOTs.
Science has traced man back &
hundred thousand years, or more,
but, unfortunately the scanty re-
mains of the earliest human types
give US no direct information about
the color of their skin, although
we do get some hints from the
shapes o. their skulls and bones.
which. taken in connection with
present day relationships or these
things, seem 20 show that black
races and white races may have
been in existence ever in those
remote times
one Of the strongest arguments
IN favor of the view that there was
only one original species of man
is furnished by the general pnysiC-
logical principle that Independent
species of animals either cannot be
crossed. on, in cases where they do
cross, fail TO produce fertile Off
