panzee and gorilla that is, they were dolichocephalic (long-headed) 

 prognathous (prominent jaws), and also, like their ape brethren, were 

 troglodytes, or cave-dwellers. From the woolly-haired Alali evolved the 

 Papuans of New Guinea and Tasmania, and the Hottentots of Africa, 

 whose descendants of to-day are but little removed in brain develop- 

 ment from the higher apes. They are dolichocephalic prognathous 

 savages, with black, hairy skins, long arms, and short, thin legs, with ill- 

 developed calves ; are semi-erect, walk on hind legs, and have no true 

 articulate speech. A higher development of the woolly-haired Alali is 

 the Negro, and higher still the Caffre, both of whom are dolichocephalic 

 prognathous savages, with black, semi-hairy skins, and imperfect articu- 

 lation. From the straight-haired Alali are derived the Australian natives 

 and the large family of Malays or Polynesians. The Australians 

 migrated south, and were dolichocephalic prognathous savages, with 

 smooth, dirty brown skins, and straight black hair. The lowest 

 tribes of the present day have no true articulate speech. The Poly- 

 nesians migrated north and east, and were dolichocephalic prognathous 

 troglodytes (as the gorilla and chimpanzee), with clear, smooth brown 

 skins, and true articulate speech. This branch split up into two 

 large families, the Mongolian or Turanian, and the Caucasian or 

 Iranian. The former covered Northern and Eastern Asia, Polynesia, and 

 America, and were originally brachycephalic (broad-headed) prognathous 

 men. They subdivided into two distinct species, the Mongols of China, 

 Japan, Lapland, Finland, and Hungary, who are brachycephalic, but not 

 prognathous, with smooth, brownish yellow skin, and straight black 

 hair; and the Mongols of America, who are mesocephalic (round- 

 headed), but not prognathous, with smooth red skins and straight black 

 hair. The Caucasian family covered Western Asia and most of 

 Europe, being mesocephalic prognathous troglodytes (afterwards agri- 

 culturalists) with smooth dark skins and long straight hair ; and sub- 

 divided into two branches, the Semitic, of Arabia and Syria, and the 

 Aryan or Indo-European ; both of whom are mesocephalic, but not 

 prognathous. 



It is true that, so far, no fossil remains of Alali have been found, with 

 the exception of the Neanderthal skull ; but it is equally true that they 

 may soon be discovered. It is only comparatively recently that the other 

 species have been found fossilised ; and it must be recollected that only 

 a very small portion of the earth's crust has yet been explored, and 

 that not the most likely for finding. No attempts have been yet made
