THE CRADLE OF HUMANITY -OBJECT OF SCIENTISTS QUE
By George NJ. Emery

LNARTH'S earliest human inhabitant-that
- first Of all men from whom . world Of
races and nations has descended-a creature
created in the image of God or fashioned in
the form of an ape? That's the question
that has bafied answer for centuries; that's
the riddle that science is determined to solve
in this year 1921.
Infinitely more uncertain than the search
for gold, the trail of primitive man is the
lure that has inspired the newest and great
est quest, the expedition sent out to the most
distant and inaccessible regions of Asia and
the Far East By the American Museum Of
Natural History, an expedition that viii use
camels, motorcars and airplanes, that will
eTpend $4,000 q year for Eve years, that
will be satisfied with nothing short of full
and complete discovery Of one Of Hfe's
longest hidden secrets.
Traces Of the first man have been sought
IN various quarters Of the globe; fossil
human fragments have been found in
Europe, in South Africa, in the island of

living today in Europe, America and other
parts Of the world. For instance, the carl
bou, moose, elk or wapit, the bishorn sheey

all Of Asiatic origin. The human problem
is closely connected with the animal iifs
