greatly to augment our knowledgx
because the loo skeletons are in :m

an innumerable manner of bones,
ilint iuipimncnts and other articles
are being discovered in the 8-1an
ground.
The Stone Age is divided into
ihruo subdivisions. The interglacial.
or lower stage, is known as the
Lower Paleolithic. and this is divided
into tho Pre-Chclleun. Chellean and
Acheulvau times. The middle peri-
od. or Middle Paleolithic, extends
throughout the Whole of the last
great glacial epoch. It is divided
into the Moustcrcan and Neander-
thal times and is subdivided into the
Aurignacian. Solutrcan. Magdalenian
and Aziiian eras. It was in this
Upper Paleolithis epoch that athe
Cro-Magnon race lived in Europe.
The Cro-Magnons were a compara-
tively well-developed people. They
had a long ancestry. A man known
as the Plltdown man. found in Sus-
sex, England. in strata estimated of
I’rc-Chcllean age. showed that at
that remote period. perhaps as long
as 400,000 years ago. man was poor-
ly developed. The thickness of the
skull and the simian-like jaws of
the Pitdown man led scientists to
distinguish him from “hompo sa-
picns” by designating him a. member
of the genus annthropus, or the
Man of the Dawn. ’
The recorded history of mankind
is of very short duration in com-
parison with the hundreds of thou-
sands of years during which primi-
tive man was struggling with the
elements and the beasts of the jun-
gle. He made a. very gallant strug-
glc and a tenacious fight.
Ear-Di Types of Man.
He is discovered as a. wild. rough
creature. so closely allied to the
apes that in his early types his skele-
tons are difficult to distinguish from
those of apes. Anthropologists who
have studied the law of an early
man found near Heidelberg. Ger-
many. have all remarked its re-
semblance to the Jaw of an ape.
Certain anatomists claim that, the
remains of a primitive man. known
as the Neaderthal man. are very
similar to those of a gorilla and
show close afllnites to a. number of
the native tribes now living in At-
rica. These authorities assert that
Ether :frican negroes show affini-

to susmzn suggestions ngarding these
places of origin.
“‘hat did primitive man look like?
Many have asked themselves this
question. The German anthropoll—
gist Herman Klantsch gave this ans-
wer: “The cast of the cranium of
the Neanderthal man in the museum
in Bonn enables us to compare it
with the brain of a. gorilla. There
is a. clear resemblance in the rela-
tively poor development of the front
of the cm‘t‘brun‘l in the two cases.
"Extending the comparative study
or the negro, we find that among the
latter there. are some groups which
may be regarded as offshoots from
the common stem of the Neander-
thal race and the gorilla. This is
seen both in the skeleton and the .
form of the ccrcbrum. \Vc refer to
the large and muscular African ne-
groes who have typical thick lips
and prominent jaws.
“The Neanderthal people were
real men. The idea. that the earlier
types of men went back toward the
monkey is not consistent with the
facts. The. facts show that man and
the man-like apes had common sn-
cestors. z
“The brain of the Neanderthal
man was not small. There was a.
strong development of the back part
of the brain and this means that
there was a. good developments of

ly related ancestors. And as a. cor-
