that this first Englishman" was a
very early and bold experiment on
the part Of nature in the direction
of the creation Of modern man. In
some respects, as in the one-sidedness
of the brain, she went further than
she ever has gone since, although the
human race at present may be slowly
catching up with the Piltdown man
in this respect. Nature already had
hit upon the frozen baby device
for the features of her strange crea-
ton She did not, however produce
balanced human body suitable for
such a brain and such a-to later
men-handsome face, and she did not
endow the creature with so big
brain.
"Of all the early forms Of human
ity known to U.S." said Sir Arthur in
his report. this Is the most strange
and the most misunderstood. The
early types of humanity found in all
other parts Of the world frankly pro-
claim their ape-like heritage All

and jaw, he was the most apelike OF

Of humanity blended in the strangest

He represents one of natures many
and vain attempts to produce a new
type of mankind There is every
reason to think that his progeny be-
came extinct long before the dawn
Of modern conditions"
This strange pre-human animal;
Sir Arthur Keith said. has been re-
jected by many anthropo!ogists as
belonging on the human family tree
simply because he does not fit into
their pre-conceived notions Of how
ape became man-whereas in fact
nature probably used many expedi-
ents before hitting on the way which
led to success.
