206 THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN 



Solutrian. Robin Hood's Cave and Church 

 Hole, near Creswell ; Kent's Hole. 



Magdalenian. Robin Hood's Cave, Church 

 Hole, and Kent's Hole. 



To which may be added : 

 Aurignacian. Paviland Cave, in Gower, re- 

 cently described by Sollas. 



A further point of much interest and very fully 

 worked out in Sollas' book is the attempt to show 

 a racial connection between some of these Palaeo- 

 lithic races and existing peoples of to-day. " If 

 the views we have expressed in this and preceding 

 chapters are well founded," he says (p. 382), " it 

 would appear that the succeeding races, which 

 represent the vanished Palaeolithic hunters, have 

 succeeded one another over Europe in the order 

 of their intelligence : each has yielded in turn to 

 a more highly developed and more highly gifted 

 form of man. From what is now the focus of 

 civilisation they have been one by one expelled 

 and driven to the uttermost parts of the earth : 

 the Mousterians survive in the remotely related 

 Australians at the Antipodes ; the Solutrians* 

 are represented by the Bushmen of the southern 

 extremity of Africa ; the Magdalenians by the 

 Eskimo on the frozen margin of the North 

 American continent, and as well, perhaps, by the 

 Red Indians." 



However this may be, it seems that all these 

 zones or races are associated with the Glacial 



* With whom must be included the Aurig-nacians who are, per- 

 haps, more nearly akin to the Bushmen than the Solutrians.
