Description:Excerpt from The Most Ancient Skeletal, Remains of Man The early history of the human race, though merged in the darkness of ages, is step by step being traced and reconstructed; and apparently the time is drawing near when science will be able to present, in the main at least, the definite solution of the profound and involved problem of mans origin, when, in other words, it will be in a position to show, however imperfectly, at what period, where, and how man ascended from the lower orders. Although the subjects of the origin and antiquity of mankind have occupied thinking minds since time immemorial, actual research in these fields began considerably less than a century ago, and the more intensive investigations cover hardly a generation. Such investigations have been fraught with many difficulties and are growing in complexity. They demand patient watchfulness, diligent, long-extended exploration, and considerable expense. The most careful attention must be given to geological and paleontological besides other evidence. And, after all, the net results of a prolonged assiduous quest may be no more than a few stone chips and implements, or perhaps a tooth, or a few badly crushed bones, belonging to human antiquity. But, as there are many hands at work, invaluable materials are accumulating. Besides this, every now and then the search is more richly rewarded, or some important specimen is discovered accidentally; and every new, well-authenticated addition to the remains of early man or his predecessors, more particularly if it is a part of the skeleton, means a fresh, highly valuable document which throws supplementary light on the natural history of the human being. The explorations of recent years have been particularly fruitful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
