OUR FOREFATHERS.
EVIDENCE OF PRIMITIVE MAN
(Received 10.10 a.m.) London, December 19
The Geological Society discussed the question of the skull discovered at Piitdown, Sussex, alongside Mastodon teeth, and pre-Chedlean flints. The general opinion was that the skull was one of a period before the cavemen, and possibly was Pliocene. The skull resembles a young chimpanzee. The jaw is heavy, and there is an ape-like forehead, steep, with scarcely any brow ridges. I his is the first evidence of the primitive source, from whence surviving man has arisen.
