MAN FROM THE FARTHEST PAST 
the written heritage of the world, expresses the finer 
influences of this transcendent experience. 
We have traced the outline of the history of the forms 
of life culminating in man, as revealed in the geological 
record, and the development of the human individual from 
conception to adult life, as discovered by the sciences of 
cytology, embryology, and anatomy. We may properly 
turn now to the story of the upward march of the race 
of mankind, which begins with primitive man and his 
implements. These till recently lay buried under the 
accumulations of ages, but now reveal to us humankind 
contending for a place in the sun against the brutes and 
nature.
