ny CHARLES MERCER


NEW YORK R-Now that "Pilt
down" has been exposed as q hoax
where does man stand in his
knowledge about evolution.
The answer: just about whert
he did before tnat famous fossil
skull was found to be a fraud.
In fact, the exposure clears the
air. Physical anthropologists have
been viewing Piltdown with skepti-
cism for years.
When the pieces Of skull and
iawbone were found in an English
gravel pit near the Sussex village
iof PIltdown between 1912 and 1915
some scientists concluded they
were parts Of the same creature
who lived anywhere from $1,000
10 500, 900 years ag9.
On the basis of evidence then
at hand, Piltdown seemed to them
to be either q superior type Of
sub-human or a Sub-normal type
of true human. Yet his head was
curiOuSly different from those of
other prehistoric men found in
various parts Of the world. He
was q puzzle in the whole evolu-
tionary picture.
DR.. Harry Shapiro, head OF the
department Of anthropoIogy Of the
American Museum of Natural
History, says Pltd0wn never was
consistent with other data. He was
out Of line chronologically. His re-
moval, instead of weakening, in
effect strengthens our knowledge
Of the evolutionary process"
Prof. Ernst A. Hooton of Har-
ward, one Of the worlds most IA
nous anthropologists, says the
hoax doesn't disturb our ideas
of human evolution at all. If it is
right that the head is a fake, it
loses all its significance and re-
moves very puzziing link"
In Egnaldn, Piltdown's time
stained skull and ape.like jawbone
have become the butt of cartoon
lists jibes and comedians jokes.
In this country some fundamental
list churchmen, who maintain that
man was created in his present
Image aboaut 5000 years ago. have
used the Piltdown hoax as a lever
to pry at the whole theory of evo-
luton.
Actually, scientists say the only
disservice that possibly could come
from exposure of the Piltdown fake
would be widespread skepticism
about other important discoveries
of mankind's vestigiaI past.
People usually handy the phrase
"man came from monkeys" Most
authorities today agree there are
five families in that part of the
living animal kingdom to which
man belongs-the human family.

anthropoids, the old world monkeys
and the new world monkeys. ALI
developed from the same stem
hundreds Of thousands of years
ago, which is quite a different thing
from saying "man came from
monkeys"
In the study Of mankind's evolu.
ton through fossils the most i'm.
portant discovery was made in
Java in 1892 by a young Dutch
physician, Eugene Dubois. He
found the famous Java Man skull
an ape man twice the size of
a gorilla who prowled the vol
canoed slopes Of ancient Java pos
sibly 100000 years ago, a real mis-
sing link between ape and man.
About the same period another
giant peered out of a cave near
modern Picking. Imagine q 1000
