The National Academy OF Sciences
heard an engaging new theory about
the evolution Of man last week in
washington. It's that man owes his
superior mentality over lower animals
70 q long, arduous and victorious
battle against the force OF gravity.
BY forcing himself 70 stand erect.
primeval man brought about certain
changes In his blood and nervous sys-
TENS, thereby stimulating develop
ment Of a superbrain, Is the thesis OF
Dr. 5. W. Britton Of the University Of
Virginia.
DR.. Britton told the Academy's an
nual meeting that man paid some
penalties for getting up on his two
feet-ailments like fallen arches, vari-
eose veins, possibly sinus and heart
trouble. But he said, development Of
the very delicately responsive hu-
man brain" more than Offsets all the
drawbacks.
Major Adjustments
The way he figures It, mans circu-
latory and nervous systems had to
make major adjustments once man
assumed the perpendicular for long
periods OF time. One big factor was
that blood had TO be forced upward
70 feed the rudimentary brain prlmi-
tive man had. 80
AS a result OF these adjustments,
the scientist theories, the brain was
stimulated 10 develop into the deli
cate, superior organ II now is.
DR.. Britton suggests that mans ape
like forebears first got up of all fours
when they found that in searching for
food and watching for enemies there
were certain advantages in keeping
their heads high.

Recently cross-circulation Of blood
