The rich treasure of knowledge we possess in the compara- 

 tive anatomy and the history of the development of Verte- 

 brate animals, enables us even now to establish the most 

 important outlines of the human pedigree in the way we 

 have done in the last chapter. One must, however, not

 the history or phylogeny of the human species which will 

 henceforth form the basis of Anthropology, and of all other 

 sciences. The complete development of this most important 

 science — of which we can only lay the first foundation — 

 must remain reserved for the more accurate and extensive
