THE HUMAN SKULL 157 



Well, in respect of one particular theory I have 

 tried in these pages to sift the evidence and give 

 the views of the most credible and recognised 

 authorities in connection with one line of argu- 

 ment alone it must be admitted, however, a very 

 important line of argument. 



I have carefully limited myself to this single 

 point, and must not be taken as making any state- 

 ments to the right or to the left of it when I say 

 that, so far as the craniological evidence goes, 

 those who desire to prove the evolution of man's 

 body from that of a lower form have completely 

 failed to make out their case.
