ITVHE remote ancestor of all the cats
gentle little house cats, fence-roaming

S-rHE remote ancestor of all the cats
an gentle little house cats, fence-roaming
Toms, vociferous barnyard Romeos,,
4, blue-ribbon winners, and just cats-has
been found petriied out in Colorado. He
is fifteen million years old and so the kind
of petrifcation is at once made plain.
fiveyear study of him and the evidence
that he carried about with him of his
habits recalls the opening lines OF Lang
don Smiths great poem, Evolution:
When you were tadpoIe and was a fish,
In the Paleozoic time,
And side by side on the ebbing tide
We sprawIed through the ooze and slime,
Or skittered with many caudaI Hip
Through the depths Of the Cambrian fen,
MY heart was rife with the Joy Of life,
For ! loved you even then.
1t recalls them because during the ages
between the time that the petrihed Colo
- RADIO Tom roamed about Colorado and to-
day when Mis- furry descendants sit so con-
tentedly at his or her charming mistress's
feet, a change has occurred between cat
: and man as great as between the tadpole
= and fish of Langdon Smiths poem and
man and woman.
In those days Of the ancestor of the cats
was dinosaur, about % feet long and IL
feet high. Science has christened him
'Ceratosaurus, with the accent on the rat,
Mt looked exactly like the reconstruction
cushown on this page, and IT was about the
tN6ercest, most cantankerous and devilish
Va creation of its time-and that time was
, one which contained no striking examples
of meekness or gentleness OF any KIND.
The ancestor of man just then was kept
busy keeping out of its way. Just what
our ancestor looked like fifteen million
years ago we do not know.
But five million years ago he was, evolu-
tionists believe, somewhat like the little
Tarsius whose picture you see at the top
of the page in its exact proportioss as
compared with the first cat.
In the meantime, during the ten million
years that had passed, Ceratosaurus had

scendants most of his skeleton He had

science has given the name Oxyaeua

The first large carnivore Of which we have
fossil knowledge, contained all the Zero

lucky for man that HIS ancestor was then

could climb trees, because he would never

- But the tailed fathers of man were then
prowling around, mostly at night and
feeding on insects. This night habit and
diminutive size kept them fairly safe from
battles with such monsters.
Nevertheless, during this time there
was inculcated in him a wholesome fear
OF the big carnivores, as well as the great
snakes which he encountered in the trees,
and this fear he handed down 90 his suo
cessors, so that when several lines OF men
and apes radiated from him fear of the
81 cats and snakes was we'll established. The

accompanied by a life-size model of the
reptile as he undoubtedly looked and
acted in life. -...
Ceratosaurus reptiles ranged from Is to
% feet in length. The type skeleton IS
% feet long and IL feet high. As carni-
wore its particular prey is believed TO have
been the herbivorous dinosaur, Claosaurus,
which had numerous teeth by which 1t
could strip, macerate and devour soft
vegetation. These dinosaurs had known
range of some 500 miles along the eastern
slope Of the Rockies, but later finds OF
fossils may extend It. Professor Marsh
stated:
''The skull was very large in proportion
to the rest OF the skeleton, the back part
being most elevated and widest. The face
was long, tapering gradually to the muzzle.
Seen from above, II resembled that OF a
crocodile in outline" Marsh thought the
reptile had a large, long, sharp horn OIL
top of the nose. Gilmore, however, I'm his
hfe-like restorations shows merely hump,
or, rather, vestige, as IL the reptile,
scorning It's use as n weapon, was trying
to discard II altogether, exactly what his
successors and assigns achieved
Marsh found that Ceratosaurus had the
largest brain case, proportionately, OF all
carnivorous dinosaurs, "far exceeding
those OF herbivorous dinosaurs" This is
exactly what was repeated when nam
mails arrived. The cat family are the
brainlest of mammals
Our hay eaters are generally rather
stupid, excepting the horse-some horses
like their ancestral first herbivorous
reptiles.
Ceratosaurus did much for the teeth Of
modern felines. He or his forefathers
worked at reduction in their number.
The result was two rows OF sharpcutting
teeth, fifteen to each row. In addition
there we're three functional teeth, lying
detached between the jaws The front
teeth we're robust and recurved, the others
diminishing in size backwards In my
opinion the functional teeth were the
same as we see In snakes and sharks, that
Is, teeth that form behind. then push for,
