HUMAN LIFE 



know it historically formed no part of 

 human life in Pleistocene time. Among 

 the many thousand recovered specimens 

 of prehistoric man s handiwork, there is a 

 singular paucity of variety a few kinds 

 are repeated over and over again with 

 superficial changes which is a fact that 

 reveals the limited resources and variety 

 of occupations of this early human life. 

 But we must not follow this inviting 

 lead. Our aim in this discussion was 

 simply to point out those more important 

 facts in the biologist s knowledge which 

 bear on the problem of man s emergence 

 from the gray mists of prehistoric time 

 and the welter of strange animal life that 

 characterized those early days. And this 

 we have done.
