70 THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN 
we survey the people and the state of Europe in the 
latter third of the glacial period, we find it populated 
with tall men, evidently separated into distinct races, 
having long, narrow heads containing large brains — 
brains which were capable of conceiving and appreciat- 
ing high works of art. It is clear that we have to 
go much further backwards in time to find human 
beginnings.
