majority than them is. We will discuss on another page this
sharp, and also the additional line spacing of motives us to inflict that many of the
extremely ill-mannered forms are really the job of man.
I/you/he/she now allow us to return to the age of Miocene in which we am to look for
for the presence of man. In 1867 a French geologist, from the name
of Bourgeois that was crossing some beds of the Miocene
You grow old, Thenay nearby, France found a number of flints of man
it forms particular that he has concluded that they could only be explained
supposing that men formed them. In this case it is to
you question as to the age of the stratum that contains the flints.
All the geologists agree him that is of the age of Miocene.
The question is then, if the flints were artificially cut
or not. On this question you/he/she has been a great division of
opinion, and we cannot do best that to examine and to see where
the scientific and Principal men are standing on this point.
In 1872, to the scientific congress in Brussels this question
you/he/she had referred to a committee composed of the most competent men
from the different countries of Europe. We am sorry to say
what, after a complete consideration of them, the judges were,
incapable to agree. Some accepted them, others refused them, and
still others were undecided. Some of the second they have since then
it is convinced from the recent discoveries.<45>
Since this discovery, similar champions have been described as
has been found in Portugal, and from another place in
France. Some men of the tallest authority accept these flints as
trying the presence of man in durations of Miocene. This is sustained
from such men as Quatrefages, Hamy, Mortillet and Capellini.<46>
These are entirely known for to be competent and accurate geologists.
Another class doesn't think the strong evidence enough to
you declare these flints of human origin, and so he/she doesn't think him/it
tried that men lived in Europe in durations of Miocene; but he/she believes
what we will eventually find tests of his/her existence during that
