but investigation has centered the effort to decide
when mans forerunners became separate branch
from the ape family.
Theories have been advanced which would place
the separation at almost any point from (A) the most
primitive lemurlike types B) aberrant early emur
like type (C) from early member of the new world
monkeys, (D) from among the catarrhne (old world)
monkey offshoots, and (E) from final point OF d.
vergence from the higher anthropoid group (apes).
Professor Boule of France very high authority
on evolution, in 1913 located the derivation Of the
human from very early primitive lemur stock,
separating 1t as an independent line which first paral-
eled and then outsrpped the lines leading to monkeys
and apes.
''In contrast to this theory is the original conclu
sion Of Darwin In 1874 that some ancient member Of
the anthropomorphous sub-group e. e., of the anthro
poid ape stock) gave birth to man.. And this view has
been supported by the great majority Of anthropoo
gists and anatomists, including Huxley and Haecke
and such living authorities Sir Arthur Keith of the
Royal College OF Surgeons, London Professor Elliott

"The former theory would only throw mans origin
back into unknown background without much hope
Of solving the problem because of the immense
amount Of unfound and extremely ancient material
which would be necessary to trace the original human
distinct line, back to very primitive lemur stock
I'm comparison the gap represented by the differ
of body between prehistoric and the higher
apes is very small.
AT the present time the controversy about the two
theories of evolution chiefly involves the possibility of
evolving human foot from one of anthropod ape
like or to be more explicit, of gorillake type. The
term goroid is used In recognition of the ap-
proach to the human form of the gorilla foot than that

the theory of evolution
The scientists of the world have been divided in
their views as to whether man descended from
apelike animal or from very low primitive animal
that was a common ancestor of man and the ape. At
the time various unscienfc wiseacres have con-
tended that could not be descended from ami
NAL, that it blasphemous to say So and the diver
sity among scientists has helped to give point to their
talk.
Poor John Daniel" has supplied apparently ire
futable evidence that descended directly from
an ape-lke animal 1t was just his foot that did it.
The one fact that has made many scientists assert
that cannot descend from the ape is that the lat
ter has foot like human hand, with opposable
great toe
Now, it has been proved that in the short span of
gorllas life of child gorilla like John Daniel
the foot changes toward the human form with fat,
firm sole.
This discovery supports the view that all races of
men are descended from species of animal not
many, and that family originated in place
about 1000, 900 years ago.
When John DanieP' died his body was given by
the Ringing Brothers to the American Museum of
Natural History, New York Under the direction of
the authorities Of the museum Professor H. F. Osborn
Professor w. r. Gregory and others, the body dis
sected and distributed among various experts for
study. The feet were sent to Dr. Dudley J. Morton,
an orthopedic surgeon of Milford, Conn.,, who has
spent many years studying human feet and correcting
their weaknesses. 1t is he who has made the inter-
esting discoveries about the man-lke form Of the go
ria's feet
At about the same time Professor Huntington, of
the College of Physicians and Surgeons, discovered
that john Daniel possessed certain muscle moving
the outside of the foot which is not found in the other
apes and was always believed to be possessed only by
man.
Many leading scientists have come to the conclu-
sion of Darwin that originated from the highest
branches OF prmate stockthat is the group Of man
like apes that were ancestral to the gorilla chmpanzee
and orang Other authorities have claimed that mans
origin began at the very root Of prmate stock when

time approximately twenty-five times more remote

simper-if the Christian could be represented In
one minte the Neanderthal man existed during the
earlier part Of the previous half hour the pthecan
thropus Of Java the earliest known specimen of the
human family, lived four fve hours earlier, and
mans origin occurred about fifteen hours before that
In his very recent Outline of History (chap vii)
H. G. Wells has declared that the origin Of man Is
still very obscure because although he appears to be
descended from ape-like animal, the great apes

manner from mans gait"
Now, through Dr. Mortons discovery that John
Daniels" foot developing into the human form,
with great toe like mans, the difficulty mentioned
by Wells has been overcome.
very curious fact pointed out by DR.. Morton is
that the French sculptor Fremiet whose Gorilla Car
ryng Away Woman" Is a famous work Of art,
and reproduced strkingly the human stance Of the
gorillas foot and great toe before It was noted by
scientists
Just when the diversity Of opinion regarding mans
origin most confusing the half grown creature
John Daniel appeared and died, and In almost mar
tyr-ke fashion furnished the means Of crysallizing
scientific opinion.

boons which really quadrupeds, closely resemble

has been asserted that the form OF their great toe
is different from the foot structure Of man that

in which the great toe could assume position parallel

When DR.. Morton took up John Daniels" foot he
approached only with the hope of solving Of
the problems of his profession. He formerly lee
turer orthopedics at the Hahnemann Medical Col
lege, Philadelphia, and has made study Of the human
foot for many years. He compared John Daniels"
feet with those Of other and human beings The
material furnished to him through the American
Museum Of Natural History and the College of Phys
clans and Surgeons.
