it belongs to that period or q later
one.
! But ii it should be found to be-
long to 1t, there would be nothing
inconsistent with the evidence ali
ready on hand in Europe. The
Dithecanthropus erectus, believed to
be the first man-ape, living 100000
years ago, has been held by many,
as well as myself, to have been
antedated by many hundreds Of
thousands Of years by q human
being.
Many articles found in England
have indicated man lived there be-
fore the quarternary, that his be-
| ginning was somewhere near the
end OF the Tertiary age-an age, by
the way, which may span period
Of 100000 years or so.
1T seems that flint instruments
were rudely constructed by hu-
mans at that period. The shape and
size was proved conclusively not
to have been due by being tossed
about and smashed by streams or
through the action Of overhanging
| rocks.
"On the continent of Europe,
traces Of such implements of gen.
uine human manufacture are even
held to have belonged to the Mo
Gene period Of the Tertiary age.
Location Most Important.
1T was in the second division of
that age that the human stock be-
came more or less distinct. There.
fore, the finding Of the Fossilized
skull does not disturb the views
long held by most Of us at the
Museum here.
1.-THE real Importance Of the dis
covery Of the skull is not, there
fore, that 1t proves man to have
originated millions Of years ago.
but in the location where it was
discovered. There has been no uni
versally accepted evidence of the
presence Of man at that period in
the worlds history on this hemt-
sphere.
Certain South American Indians
had a long Uranium, with a low,
sloping forehead, as the skull is
described to have. The find, there
fore, may show that the Indian in
habited this country much longer
than is now supposed.
Professor Gregory, In discussing
the evolution Of man, said:
mo existing apes are ancestral
to man, they are only distant and
more or less modified cousins. The
apes are becoming more and more
unlike man, and follow different
paths.
Thirty years ago scientists In
clined to the view that the origin
of man lay in a period much closer
to our own than has since been
found to be the case. Today the
pendulum swings the other way.
But there is nothing inconsistent
with existing evidence to place the
first human back millions Of years.
Ape Never a Man.
ut has always been a point of
contention among scientists what
distinctive quality marked the first
man. The frontal lobe of the
brain, to take one characteristic, is
more convoluted in man, but, as
Prof Elliott Smith pointed out, the
brain of the gorilla Is the prophecy
of that in man. There, Is an amaz-
ing correspondence in details, yet
the gorilla Is not a man. and never
will be. The difference is similar
to that between the oak and the
acorn. The oak springs from the
acorn, but you couldn't say they
are the same thing.
1.-THE formation of the chin and
| the human toes are other distin-
gushing marks, but the process of
mans evolution Is a process Of
