WAS EUROPE THE EDEN?
“ No branch of knowledge, however, is extending its range so rapidly as heredity, but another side which appeals to me enormously is the history of man and how he came to reach his present position. In the current issue of Nature, for example, is reported one of the biggest discoveries of its kind ever made in Europe concerning human origin. A German geologist, who has for some years been collecting fossils at a certain site near Heidelberg, and whose efforts have already yielded the Heidelberg jaw, a relic of about the earliest human European we know, has not only found further parts of that man, but also two great anthropoid apes—one of a very human type. There thus really seems a chance that Germany is going to produce the ‘ missing link,’ and it begins to look very much, after all, as though Europe was the ‘ Garden of Eden.’ ” Sir Arthur Keith, in Sunday Times.
