The Evidence Furnished by Anthropology 



bow and arrow, we do not know and, perhaps, we shall never 

 know these hidden secrets of the past. But we do know that 

 man stayed and the beasts departed. 



We have already seen evidence of the advances made by 

 the above mentioned types — from Africa, Java and In West- 

 ern Europe and now scientists place much stress on and 

 classify the next and fourth great species of semi-human 

 beings, as those whose fragmentary remains are found in 

 Central Europe and sometimes known as the Heidelberg 

 men. The evidence of this race of beings Is based partly on 

 a jaw bone found deeply burled near Heidelberg, Germany, 

 partly from large teeth found elsewhere In this region and 

 partly from skeletons found In a cave of Yugo-Slavia and 

 partly from flint, bone and stone implements found near 

 these remains. 



The evolutionary changes of the teeth to those more 

 human in form furnishes the key to the proof of their 

 advancement above the foregoing species. The Interlocking 

 tusks are gone and the teeth are almost human in form. 

 They had developed a higher degree of workmanship in 

 the manufacture of stone implements and doubtless they had 

 become more efficient in using them. As we may know the 

 stages of man's later development through Cultural Evolu- 

 tion by the tools, and other useful articles that he has made 

 to aid him In his struggles, sq we may know the stages of 

 early man's advancement by the same comparisons. The 

 tools of the Eocene type had changed to those of the Pleisto- 

 cene and these to a still higher type much more skillfully 

 chipped than the preceding types — called the Acheulean.
