rock shelters. They hunted and fished by means of skillfully made har- 

 poons and spears. Many implements and ornaments of bone have been 

 found. They developed an art in which they carved and made draw- 

 ings in oil. They developed primitive industries in which they used bone 

 more extensively than flint. All in all, the Cro-Magnon man is a good 

 ancestor of modern man from a physical as well as a mental standpoint. 

 In the distant future, when man shall unearth the remains of some of 

 us, what type of record will we have left, and for what will our civiliza- 

 tion be noted? 



QUESTIONS AND TOPICS 



1. List the various types of fossils and records which ancient man has left and 

 include the specific manner in which each has been preserved. 



2. Give logical reasons why more records of ancient man have not been dis- 

 covered. 



3. Make a table of the more representative types of ancient man, including the 

 outstanding characteristics of each. 



4. Explain where and how records of ancient man are discovered. Are additional 

 records being found at the present time? Where? (Read articles on present- 

 day discoveries before answering these questions.) 



5. What logical conclusions might you draw from a study of the sequence of 

 records left by ancient man? 



6. Explain how we might determine the type of life which ancient men led. 



7. Where in the world have the records been found? What does this mean? 



8. What important changes seem to have taken place in the structure of man 

 as revealed by the remains available to date ? 



9. What type of records do you think we today will leave for future generations, 

 and in the light of our present civilization what interpretations may be made 

 of them?
