SEEKS BIRTHPLACE
OF THE HUMAN RACE
ANDREWS EXPEDITION HAS
BEGUN SEARCH TO FIND
THE ORIGIN OF MAN.

NEW YORK.-Dr. Frederick A,
Lucas, assistant director OF the Amer
lean museum of natural history, said
that it was hoped that the museums
Monaghan expedition, headed by Ray
Chapman Andrews, which already has
made important discoveries OF the Jos
sill remains of prehistoric reptiles and
animals in the Cobb desert, would dis
cover proof that Asia was the birth
place Of mankind, as we'll as OF animal
life.
Find Bones, Implements.
Chinese scientists already had found
the bones and implements OF primeval
man in the Cobb region, near where
Andrews found his fossils, he said,
although they had given no complete
report of their discoveries yet.
Il refer" DR.. Lucas said, ito the
recent discovery in the region between
Kalgan and Urga by the China geo
graphical service Of prehistoric cave
containing bones and clumsy stone
implements, which undoubtedly Will
prove to be contemporaneous with the
Neanderthal man, who existed 2OO,OO0
wears ago. That we have not received
full details about the discovery IS due
to the fact that the Chinese have not
vet published their findings. The
American expedition was not allowed
to excavate in this particular region,
although they had planned to do so"
True Place of Mans Origin.
The true place of mans origin IS
believed by American anthropologistss,
such as Henry Fairfield Osborn, dl-.
rector of the American museum OF
. natural history, to be somewhat FUR
Their south and to the east OF the point
where the Chinese made their dlscov-
erv, particularly in the regions OF the
ALASKAN mountains, which border the
Cobb desert on the southeast. One di-
vision of the American museum eN-
petition, under Walter Granger, is
making excavations in the ALASKAN
mountains.
The museum authorities here eX-
pect to hear shortly OF the discovery
of fossils of man, even further removed
in historical ages than that OF the
Neanderthal man, as well as such that
are contempOraneous with the Mean
derthal specimens discovered IN New
Jersey and Florida and in various
places in Europe.
Tells of Cobb Desert.
Many known facts, according to
DR.. Lucas, have convinced anthropol-
ogists that man originated in north
ern Asia, and the possible discoveries
of the expedition working in the Alas
han mountains will enable scientists to
nro,e definitely that Asia was the base
from which man originally started to
spread to all parts of the globe. =.
Regarding the theory OF mans dis
person in ancient times, DR.. Lucas
said that man began to spread from
a region like the Cobb desert in north
ern Asia to the west and to the east,
but primarily in western direction,
as it offered him the least amount OF
obstacles. That the migration of man
was principally in the direction OF Eu-
rope is seen from the fact that the
American continent was the last OF all
to be populated by man.
