Farrell chose a plan that was
daring as it was unique. He would

SEEK FRESH LIGHT
ON ORIGIN OF MAN

Where did man originate? Iis
birthplace has never been definitely
located and perhaps never will, but
the hunt goes merrily on. Some new
evidence on the origin of man Is
claimed by T. D. McCown of the Uni
yersity of California and member
of an expedition digging around in
Palestine. This expedition has I'M
earthed some rare deposits in caves
on the western edge of Mt. Carmel.
McCown says his findings Indicate
that man in "subhuman but super
ANIMAL form first appeared in Asia.
His evidence consists of fragments
and complete skeletons of nine pre-
historic men, women and children
who lived and died some $4,000 years
ago during the latter part of the
Mousterian culture stage. They are
said to represent distinct but pre-
historic species of human beings
with heavy bone ridges over the eye
sockets, bulldog jaws and heavy
chins.-Pathfinder Magazine.
