1893.] The Genealogy of Man. 327 
a Negro, etc., remind one of the criticisms directed at the doc- 
trine of evolution when it was first presented to the public, as 
to a horse never producing a cow, etc. It is well known to 
Professor Virchow that human races present greater or less 
approximations to the simian type in various respects. Such 
are the flat codssified nasal bones of the Bushmen ; the quadri- 
tubercular molars of the Polynesians; the flat ilia and prog- 
nathous jaws of the Negro; the flat shin-bones of various 
races; the divergent hallux of some aborigines of farther India, 
etc. But that no nearer approximation to the simian type 
than these has been discovered in any race will surprise most 
students of the subject. Professor Virchow does not satisfac- 
torily explain the significance of the Cannstadt and Neander- 
thal skulls, and in his address he ignores the important and 
well authenticated discovery of the man and woman of Spy. 
To these ancient people I will now devote some space, describ- 
ing more especially the dentition so far as it has been pre- 
served. 
What had been long suspected is now established, through 
the discovery and descriptions of MM. Lohest and Fraipont of 
Fic. 1—SKULL OF THE MAN OF Spy. From Professor G. F. Wright’s Man 
and the Glacial Period. From a photograph.
