HUST when the American Mu-
scum of Natural History is
sending out an expedition with
the expectation of clinching the
theory that man originated in
Central Asia the discovery OF the
fossil sman-ape," called Austria
Iopithecus AfricanuS, In Bech-
uanaIand, South Africa, brings
new ammunition from the defend.
ers Of the Darwinian hypothesis
that Africa was the real cradle OF
mankind.
Professor Raymond Dart, Of the
witwatersrand University, who
discovered the African fossil,
goes into astonishing details
about its life and habits in spite
of the facts that It persisted q
million years ago; that its par
ticular species is extinct, and that
ali that remains of this individual
IL it's brain cast and facial bones.
It was a six-year-old ape-child,
affir1ns Professor Dart, on the
strength Of his knowledge OF an
atomy.
In that ancient time, in that
lone quarter Of the earth flor

separate this creature from its
nearest living anthropoid cou-
sfns''). its race had attained a
rank not since reached by the
ape family. OF it's contemporary
fellow man-apes Professor Dart
says: "Their eyes saw, their ears
heard and their hands handled
objects, with greater meaning and
to fuller purpose than the CORE.
spending organs in recent apes.
They had laid down the founda-
lions of that discrirninative knowl-
edge of the appearance, feeling
and sound Of things that was a
necessary milestone in the ac-
QUESTION of articulate speech"
Links Man to Apes.
Yet it is not claimed either
that the Australopithecus had a
real language, or that it was a
man in the making. It was only
a 'man-like ape" belonging to "a
pre-human stock, neither Chin
panzee nor gorilla" 1t helps to
ill up the great gap, for it pos
sesses 'jAst those characters,
facial and cerebral, which are to
be anticipated in an extinct link
between man and his simian an
cestor.
Professor Dart urges an inter-
esting reason to account for the
advance which this creature had
made over other apes in the d.
rection Of the human. The part
Of Africa where the fossil was
found is and apparently has al
ways been, at least since Cretace'
Gus times, unfavorable to the
maintenance Of animals of the
high type of the primates. There
fore, he concludes that it was the
enhanced brain power possessed
by the Australopithecus which
enabled it to subsist amidst such
an environment.
And so there rises before US
an ideal outline Of the creative
method by which man was
eventually brought into existence.
1t is not altogether inconsistent
with what might be called the
post Garden of Eden plan adopted
after Adam was found unworthy

of Paradise. For a creature that
had to make his way upward and
work out his own salvation and
evolution, like Adam after the
expulsion, a paradisiacal environ
ment would not answer. He must
face nardships and overcome diff
ficulties. Brain, as well as
muscle, grows ana strengthens
with exercise. There are no
signs that Adam had q powerful
mind when he inhabited Eden.
Laboratory Test Of Man.
Likewise. to evolve the man
type out Of the sirnian type, no
idle tropics would serve. The
distinguishing Characteristic Of
mind is not to he content with
natures bounty. It must be do
ing; it must be making, and Great
ing things for itself, according to
its own plans. a healthy mind
welcomes and seeks for difficulties
and even nardshipS.
Accordingly there is nothing to
be surprised at In the discovery
that a prehuman type OF animal,
advanced beyond the best of The
anthropoids that are in the world
today, was developed ten thousand
centuries ago near the edge of
the Kalakafi desert in South
Africa.
