THE MONKEYFOLK OF SOUTH AFRICA 121 



these fossil remains were found, it must be perhaps two 

 or three or even more millions of years when, what are now 

 fossil remains, were living baboonfolk. Some of the fossil 

 apes which have been found are very similar to us Chacma 

 baboonfolk. So, you see we can trace our ancestors a good 

 long way back. Very likely the Garden of Eden of baboon- 

 folk, or perhaps all monkeyfolk, was somewhere about 

 Northern India. 



Some of these now extinct relatives of ours must have 

 been living in India when humanfolk were upon the earth, 

 because some of their remains have been found mixed with 

 the remains of pre-historic wild men of the Chipped Stone 

 Age who lived in caves, and whose habits were very much 

 like those of the baboonfolk.
