PROFILE VIEW OF THE HEAD OR PITHECANTHROPUS, THE JAVA APE-MAN AN EARLY 

 OFFSHOOT FROM THE MAIN LINE OF MAN*S ASCENT 



The animal remains found along with the skull-cap, thigh-bone, and two teeth of Pithecanthro- 

 pus seem to indicate the lowest Pleistocene period, perhaps 500,000 years ago.

PILTDOWN SKULL. THE DARK PARTS ONLY ARE PRESERVED, NAMELY 

 PORTIONS OF THE CRANIAL WALLS AND THE NASAL BONES 



Some authorities include a canine tooth and part of the lower jaw which were found 

 close by. The remains were found in 1912 in Thames gravels in Sussex, and are usually 

 regarded as vastly more ancient than those of Neanderthal Man. It has been suggested 

 that Piltdown Man lived 100,000 to 130,000 years ago, in the Third Interglacial period.
