Capitolo 40
it was in the heats and tropical regions of the globe. This is the
perspective of such men as Lubbock, Evans, Huxley and Winchell. Still
others say that, during the enormous error of years since Miocene
times, the whole kind of mammals of earth then I live has
expert < 47>--their being of place taken by the other kind--and
therefore it is unbelievable that man, him extremely specialized
of all the animals, it would be due to survive. And from now, if these Thenays
flints are really artificial in their origin, it is more
reasonable to suppose them you/they were cut within one of the tallest monkeys,
living then in France, that from man. This is the perspective of Prof.
Dawkins and Prof. Gaudry.<48 > As to the last sight, it is certainly,
but reasonable to suppose, with Quatrefages,<49 > what the
the superior intelligence of man would serve to protect him/it from the
operation of causes of which would effect the extinction lowers
animals. From now, unless some evidence is produced for showing that
kind of monkeys is known to do ill-mannered utensils of stone or some
evidence that they did this in centuries trails, we have to believe, with
Geikie and others, that these flints try that men of Miocene
he/she lived in France, we refuse less indeed to believe that them
it is artificial.
It also seems to us that those that you/they contain to the sight that man was
living in the other parts of the world as Asia, during the Miocene
You grow old, has to quickly admit that some wandering strength of ribbons

an abundance of the animal life, and, if man was living wherever, it
it is very reasonable to suppose that, to of the epoch during the
course of the age of Miocene, he would have found his/her way to
Europe, less closed away from the sea. It seems therefore to us
what the presence of those flints of cut is conclusive of the
man's presence in Europe during the age of Miocene. To the same
time that we cannot affirm that this is the conclusion of the
scientific world. They seems to have kept in mind of the comment of
