  a 
  divergence, 
  to 
  use 
  Professor 
  Huxley's 
  words, 
  

   " 
  immeasurable 
  — 
  practically 
  infinite." 
  

  

  It 
  needs 
  only 
  to 
  be 
  added 
  to 
  this 
  sketch, 
  

   that 
  such 
  as 
  Man 
  now 
  is, 
  Man, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  we 
  

   yet 
  know, 
  has 
  always 
  been. 
  Two 
  skeletons 
  

   at 
  least 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  respecting 
  which 
  

   there 
  is 
  strong 
  ground 
  for 
  believing 
  that 
  they 
  

   belong 
  to 
  the 
  very 
  earliest 
  human 
  race 
  which 
  

   lived 
  in 
  Northern 
  Europe. 
  I 
  defer 
  any 
  refer- 
  

   ence 
  to 
  the 
  probable 
  epoch 
  of 
  time 
  when 
  

   those 
  skeletons 
  were 
  clothed 
  with 
  flesh 
  and 
  

   blood. 
  This 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  next 
  division 
  of 
  

   our 
  subject, 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  Antiquity 
  as 
  

   distinguished 
  from 
  the 
  Origin 
  of 
  Man. 
  

   Suffice 
  it 
  here 
  to 
  say 
  that 
  although 
  one 
  of 
  

   those 
  skeletons 
  indicates 
  a 
  coarse, 
  perhaps 
  

   even 
  what 
  we 
  should 
  call 
  — 
  as 
  we 
  might 
  fairly
