WORLD'S OLDEST TOOTH
Dr Davidson Black, a Canadian, announced recently the discovery, fifteen miles west of Peking, of a tooth apparently older than the “ Piltdown man ” and the pithecanthropus erectus. The tooth was the first molar of a, child about eight years old, and was possibly ancestral to the other primitive types. The find is held to' be a confirmation of the theory evolved by Osborn, and lollowed up by Andrews, that Asia is the cradle of the human race. Dr Black was working with the Chinese Geological Survey and the Peking Union Medical College.
