Extract

This question has been discussed at length by Mr. F. N. Haward in two papers published in the “Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia,” and if I have understood his views correctly, he holds the opinion that there is not at present any evidence in existence in favour of the pre-Palæolithic antiquity of man. Such a conclusion, in view of the large number of thoughtful archæologists and others who think otherwise, is somewhat startling, and, if well founded, of undoubted importance. It seems to be necessary, therefore, to examine the scientific data upon which Mr. Haward bases his conclusions.
