Extract

Since the time when naturalists were led, by the publication of Charles Darwin's far-famed work on the Origin of Species by Natural Selection, to consider that Man might have been derived through a process of evolution from lower forms of animal life, attention has repeatedly been called to remains, more or less fossilised, which were thought to be transitional forms between the lower animals and Man.
