The Evidence Furnished by Anthropology 



now extinct or amalgamated, crossed the stage of human 

 action and passed from existence leaving only faint trails of 

 their daily lives. It is impossible to tell just where the labors 

 of one ended and the other began. Amalgamation, perhaps, 

 played a greater part in their passing than that of any other 

 factor. Some were round headed and some had long heads. 

 Some were tall and others short; some black and others 

 white. Neanderthal Men were round headed but supposedly 

 black and gorilla-like. The Plltdown Men were round headed, 

 tall and supposedly white. There were the Horse Eaters 

 of Solutre, the Magdalenlan Carvers, the Mammoth Hunt- 

 ers of Predmont and the Azillan Crab-Eaters and others. 



During Primitive Man's life on earth, he has experi- 

 enced four great climatic changes — the four great 'Tee 

 Ages." Great Ice floes came from the North turning tropical 

 climates into regions of Ice. These periods would come, drive 

 all life before them, recede and then reappear again. Each 

 of these covered long periods of time. As the last and fourth 

 great 'Tee Age" disappeared, there came from Northern 

 Africa, Western Asia and perhaps, from regions now cov- 

 ered by the Mediterranean Sea, a race of humans following 

 and living on the vast herds of animal life that were return- 

 ing to the grassy plains, their ancient pastures from which 

 their ancestors had been driven when the ice floe came. These 

 men are known to science as the Cro-Magnard or Reindeer 

 Men. They represented the dominant and highest type of 

 human beings then living. They were the first to whom 

 science has given the name of "True Men." They were tall, 

 and erect, fleet of foot, had bigger and better brains, better 

 weapons and greater skill in using them, a better social organ-
