A Story Outline of Evolution 



ization and toward the end of their 20,000-year reign, they 

 began to construct crude huts as a place for their habitations. 

 They were a race of wandering, naked savages, but superior 

 to any race then living or of any that had preceded them. 

 They were hairy-flesh-eaters from whom the white race has 

 probably ascended. They have left a record of their man- 

 ner of living in many places. They had no knowledge of 

 planting seed and of tilling the soil or domesticating wild 

 animals to aid them in their struggles. These achievements 

 came at a much later period during the "New Stone Age" 

 but long before the use of copper. 



The ashes of their camp fires and the refuse heaps where 

 they had gathered and feasted are found in many places. 

 They were mighty hunters and lived by the chase. The long 

 nosed, flat faced Soltureans of the Rhone Valley have left 

 as an evidence of their hunting prowess the skeletons of more 

 than one hundred thousand wild horses in a single camp upon 

 which they had feasted. They had developed a high degree 

 of skill in chipping flint and more than forty thousand flint 

 implements have been collected from this one camp. 



They continued in their advance following the herds of 

 horses, deer, bison and elk until they occupied most of 

 European territory. Their true types have disappeared, of 

 course, but how? When they had occupied the regions 

 where the ice had been and from which it had receded, they 

 began to divide into separate tribes, to construct crude shel- 

 ters and to lay the foundations for social order. We are 

 not unmindful of the fact that a vast period of time inter- 

 vened between their Invasion and the coming of the Neolithic 

 Men. There were amalgamations and assimilations among
