WHOLE VOL. SKELETAL REMAINS OF EARLY MAN HRDLICKA 363 



and even many among the workmen in Europe, have been impressed 

 by these remarkable discoveries, and in hundreds of instances are 

 doubtless watching for new treasures. Under these conditions we are 

 justified in hoping that from time to time there shall come to light 

 further important additions to the precious material already in our 

 hands; and that these additions will fill the existing gaps, and 

 gradually extend farther and farther back, to the earliest forms of 

 man and even to the intermediary forms between man and his an- 

 cestral stock, and perhaps eventually even to the source of these 

 link-forms themselves, to the peculiar, morphologically unstable 

 family of the anthropogenous primates that represented the human 

 phylum before the arising of human precursors. 



While the anthropologist is thus painstakingly and slowly recon- 

 structing the past physical history of man, he is also with every new 

 fact adding another imperishable smaller or larger block to the solid 

 foundation upon which will stand not only man's future knowledge in 

 regard to himself, but also the understanding of the laws of his further 

 development. It is upon this foundation that will rise sound and 

 beneficent rules of future human behavior, and of true scientific 

 human eugenics. This is a part of the service of anthropology to 

 humanity.
