Straighter faces with more prominent foreheads, and hair- 
iness of face and chest are developmental features in adult life 
of the Aryan race. It follows that a broad-nosed, oblique 
face, and want of hair indicate men which are lower in the 
scale than the Aryans. Now the Fuegians are, as I have said, 
generally considered the lowest type of mankind; yet their 
prominent elongate noses as well as hair of the head indicate 
that they, are biologically, above the Bosjesman, and also that 
they are not ancestors of the Aryans. It is evident, on the other 
hand, that a form like the Bosjesman or at any rate an adult 
form of which the young Bosjesman may be considered the 
morphological representation would have been the parental form 
of the Aryan and of Man in general ; for this form would shew in 
a less developed degree just those features which distinguish 
our infants from ourselves. 
Man’s Furuse. 
It may be interesting to note, very briefly, the direction in 
which development is tending, according to the changes 
observable in life, and according to the laws of Heredity 
laid down. 
The changes necessary to transform a monkey something 
like Cebus into a human infant must have been somewhat as 
follows:—A reduction of prognathous face by decreasing the 
jaws in correlation with an increasing skull—the very feature 
of development being an increased use of brain and a decreased 
use of the jaws—the growth of a more and more distinct nose 
_increased use of the hands—decreased use of the feet as 
organs of prehension, but increased use of the legs as organs 
of locomotion—and consequent increase in length of the leg 
from the thigh to the ankle (hock) correlating with decrease 
in length from the ankle to the toes.* 
Now it may be observed that for the infant to become 
the Man by actual developmental growth all these same 
changes are continued in the same manner, and become more 
* And loss of tail ; but this is practically completed.
