WHAT EVOLUTION IS 151 



animals long since extinct. Another 

 ancient type of man is the Neandertal, 

 or Mousterian man, evidences of 

 whom have been found in many Euro- 

 pean localities. These remains date 

 from about 100,000 vears or more 

 ago. Of still later time is the Cro- 

 Magnon man, believed to be of the 

 same species as ourselves. His period 

 may be set at some 25,000 years ago, 

 and his blood mav still flow in the 

 veins of certain European peoples. 

 He was remarkable for his great 

 height, being commonly over six feet 

 tall. His stone implements were of 

 good workmanship, and his engrav- 

 ing, painting, and sculpture show him 

 possessed of aesthetic traits and of 

 unusual powers of expression. His 

 remains have been found in Wales, 

 France, and Spain. These few ex- 

 amples show how rich and numerous 

 are the traces of primitive man.
