But man, say scientists, will not fight the
approaching sea of ice. He will not be so fool

southwark, for within 20 degrees of the face
of the glacier it will be unbearably cold the year

bers of the genus homo will inhabit the area
80 degrees north of the equator.
Man will probably move into and develop
South America and southern Africa. But this
area will not be sufficient to accommodate both
the northern and southern peoples, for, as
world maps show, half of the earth's land
is north of the equator.
The order of those distant days will be
