The Evidence Furnished by Anthropology 



the tribes. A story of these changes may be found in the 

 many excellent works on Ethnology and Primitive Man. 

 Except for some minor variations the physical form of the 

 human body was now complete — the framework finished. 

 There is no doubt but what their blood is mingled in the 

 bodies of the white races today. In like manner the early 

 ethnological story of the other races may be told. It was 

 now the work of Cultural Evolution through the power of 

 mind and the nimbleness of fingers to develop man to a 

 higher state. 



It has been a long time since Piltdown man matched his 

 wits, his superior force of brain and the nimbleness of his 

 fingers, with the horns, teeth and claws of the saber-toothed 

 tiger, mammoth, cave bear, cave lion and many other primi- 

 tive beasts. One hundred years ago, the people then living 

 knew little or nothing of the life of man prior to the time 

 of written history. But when the experiences and observa- 

 tions of many Searchers were joined into one stream, the 

 study of man became a science known as anthropology. 

 Through the aid of this science, we have learned much of 

 his form and actions before written history began. And if 

 we shall judge the future by the past, the succeeding gen- 

 erations will unearth much more evidence concerning their 

 activities that we do not now have. From this period of 

 human existence the activities of man are blended with what 

 has been written in the earlier pages of this "Outline."
