AFRICA HOME Of
ORIGINAL MAN,
CLAIM
Chicago AnthropoIogist Bases
Belief on Traces of Cult
Found in Caves
BY international News Service


CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Man origi-
mated in the jungles OF Africa rather
than in the Oriental Asia Of popular
belief, according to Doctor &c prge L.
Collie, professor of anthropology and
curator Of the Logan Museum Of Be-
lott College, who has recently returla
ed from an expedition in France,
where ne says ne has found evil
dence Of original man.
Traces of the Lost Atlantis, !"
original man of prehistoric Africa,
have been found in Spain. where it
abruptly begins, and in the caves of
Les Eyzere, department of Dordogne,
France, where it just as abruptly
ends, according to Doctor Collie.
Many treasures of great value. ma
terial and historical, were secured by
Professor Collie on his expedition.
Among them Is a restored necklace
Of shells and teeth found in a cave
along the Vezere river, near Les
EyZere, which, he says, is evidence
Of the Magdalenian people, a civiliza-
ton of more than $4,000 years ago
Traces Mans History
Doctor Collie also secured copies OF
raint.ngS and drawings taken from
Che same caves along the Vezere.
They will be used to trace the Gus
tom of man of $50 centuries ago.
From the remains secured Doctor
Collie has deduced that the Magda-
lenians were members of a magic
shell cult, and the fact that no traces
Of them have been found bevond
Spain proves that they obtained
their cult and custom from the west,
probably Africa.
Further investigation into the
life of prehistoric man in search
for the Lost Atlantis" is being
made at present by an assistant
Of Doctor Collie, AlonZo w. Pond,
who is heading an, expedition into
the wilds of northern Africa. The
Pond expedition is attempting to
prove the theory of Doctor Collie
that life was first originated in
Africa by producing the earliest
traces Of such life.
Accompanied by Governor Mau-
rice Peggasse. of the Telessa
province of Algeria, the Pond ex-
petition Is travelling in automo.

the Sahara.
Upon the slopes of this peak
dwell the Tourreg tribe, one of
the varieties Of man that has not
been studied by anthropologists,"
Doctor Collie says.
Seeks African Root
"Study of these people will be
made hoping to find the African
root of the Magdalenians. Discov.
cry of such a root may substaE-
tiate my beliefs in the reality of
the lost Atlantis" he added.
Opposition by the Touaregs, who
have always resented the penetra-
ton of their domain, is expected.
They have wiped out all former
expeditions, according to Doctor
Collie.
Through the employment of a
Touareg interpreter the Logan ex.
petition hopes to deal with the
tribes peacefully, but guns have
been mounted on the tractors for
protection in case trouble should
break out.
