SCIENTISTS SAY AFRICA
IS BIRTHPLACE OF MAN

Washington-Th first man who
fathered the human race was an
African, the International Geolo-
gical Congress was told today, and
the Dark Continent" not Central
Asia, was the cradle of mankind.
After developing into more or
less human form somewhere In
Africa, man spread from there
over the rest of the earth, migrat-
ing in waves to Europe and Asia,
said Sir Arthur Smith Woodward,
British geologist. Latest evidence
he went on, discounts the theory
that man originated in the vicinity
of the Cobb Desert or Tibet.
Human remains of the Pleisto-
Gene Age found I'm Africa are not
as primitive as those from Europe
and Asia, Sir Arthur explained
but more like modern man. These
ancient Africans were less clever
however, for their tools we're only
Clipped pebbles.
Modern Man an Invader
Modern man he pictured as com
ing to Europe as an invader from
Africa. driving out Neandertha'
Man. who had migrated earlier
from the African homeland. The
invasion was easy because In those
DAYS a land bridge crossed Tho
Straits OF Gibraltar. and Palestine
was we'll watered and wooded.
