behind the canine. The width and conformation given 
to the front or incisor teeth were those of the chimpanzee ; 
when the Piltdown lips parted one would have seen the 
same ferocious dental array as in that ape (figs. 107, 109). 
As regards the rest of the teeth — the two premolar and 
three molar — man's dentition rather than the chimpanzee's 
was copied. The first and second molar teeth were 
found actually in the jaw ; they were not larger than the 
corresponding ^^teeth of certain modern races, and are 
distinctly human in pattern — at least more human than

than in human jaws, but they were given a human not a 
simian form. Thus in the first reconstruction of the 
Piltdown skull there appeared to be a mixture of den- 
titions. In front the teeth were simian ; behind they 
were human. 
We are dealing at present with the parts which were 
actually found when the discovery was first announced. 
In the autumn of 19 13 a canine tooth was discovered 
which must be assigned to the Piltdown mandible. It 
was, as Dr Smith Woodward had anticipated, essentially 
simian in form — it was more like that of a female
