• W4250296613 abstract "ELSEWHERE in this issue appears an account of a remarkable discovery which appears to afford ftrima, facie evidence of the occurrence at a remote period in South Africa of a pre-human stock, neither chimpanzee nor gorilla, and possessing a series of characters differentiating it from any anthropoid hitherto known. Fossilised fragments from a limestone cliff formation at Taungs, 80 miles north of Kimberley, in Bechuanaland, when fitted together, have revealed a natural endocranial cast with almost the entire face of what at first sight appeared to be an anthropoid, but on closer examination is found by Prof. Dart to exhibit humanoid rather than anthropoid characters. The occurrence of a fossil anthropoid so far south would in itself be sufficiently remarkable, but the interest and importance of this discovery is enhanced by its remarkable divergence from the anthropoid and its approximation to the human stock. Not only is this exhibited in the character of the cranium as a whole, but it is also apparent in the formation of the brain, so far as this is indicated by the endocranial cast. The position of the foramen magnum, if correctly estimated, in itself would indicate that this sub-human type was well on the way towards acquiring the upright posture, and the inference of an increase in intelligence which would follow upon a freer use of the fore-limbs is supported by the development of the association areas of the brain, which is such as to indicate a marked advance in the growth of intellect. So far are we taken by Prof. Dart's preliminary report and the photographs which accompany it. A detailed examination of the evidence upon which his conclusions are based must await the publication of the monograph now in course of preparation. Within recent years, South Africa, in the discovery of the Boskop and Rhodesian skulls, has added remarkable chapters to the history of early man; but even the interest of Rhodesian 'man may well be eclipsed if the claim of Australopithecus africanus be substantiated. In this event, we shall have advanced one stage further, and that a stage of the greatest importance, in the quest for the cradle of˜mankind, whether that eventually prove to have been in Africa or elsewhere." @default.
