m HE birth of the Himalayan
Mountains was responsible
III for the birth of the human
lace. This is the theory suggested
by DR.. Arthur Smith Woodward. one
of Great Britian's foremost anthro-
biologists
DR.. Woodward bases his opinion
upon the fact that Just before man
made his appearance upon earth,
the forest Of northern India were
inhabited by a race of great apes.
At this tine the Himalyan Noun
tains did not exist.
The time of which DR.. Woodward
speaks in known to the biologists as
the Miocene era. That was approx
mately 100000 years ago.
Then came one of natures great
upheavals. The crust of the earth
was shrinking.
Some think the continents of the
old wolrd were pushed against each
other.
The result was that the surface Of
the eartl was wrinkled up into great
folds-the Himalayan mountains.
To the north of the mountains. DR..
Woodward believes, the temperature
was suddenly lowered as a result Of
the formation of the mountains.
The trees died. Large numbers
OF the apes found themselves in
this territory north of the noun
