  PRIMEVAL 
  MAN. 
  

  

  now 
  temperate 
  ; 
  and 
  when 
  a 
  great 
  part 
  of 
  

   Northern 
  Europe 
  and 
  of 
  our 
  own 
  islands 
  was 
  

   submerged 
  under 
  a 
  Glacial 
  Sea. 
  This 
  sea 
  

   was 
  ploughed 
  by 
  floating 
  icebergs, 
  which 
  as 
  

   they 
  melted 
  dropped 
  their 
  rocks 
  and 
  boulders 
  

   upon 
  the 
  bottom. 
  That 
  bottom 
  has 
  since 
  

   been 
  raised 
  again 
  into 
  dry 
  land, 
  and 
  these 
  

   boulders 
  now 
  interrupt 
  the 
  drainer 
  in 
  culti- 
  

   vated 
  fields, 
  and 
  strew 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  our 
  

   wildest 
  moors. 
  Many 
  concurring 
  indications 
  

   go 
  far 
  to 
  prove 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  when 
  this 
  Glacial 
  

   Period 
  had 
  nearly 
  passed 
  away, 
  when 
  a 
  

   milder 
  climate 
  was 
  beginning 
  to 
  prevail 
  over 
  

   the 
  land 
  which 
  we 
  now 
  know, 
  that 
  Man 
  also 
  

  

  began 
  to 
  find 
  his 
  way 
  into 
  Northern 
  Europe. 
  

  

  i 
  

   There 
  he 
  sought 
  his 
  living 
  among 
  herds 
  of 
  

  

  animals, 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  greater 
  number 
  are 
  now
