Excerpt from The Skeletal Remains of Early Man Since 1916 a number of important new discoveries have been made; moreover, the writer, in the course of several additional trips to Europe, has examined personally, and in some cases repeatedly, the originals of both the older and the more recent discoveries. Also, notwithstanding the fact that many valuable contributions on the sub ject have appeared in print within the last decade, there is still to date no publication which deals with the ancient skeletal remains of man in any manner approaching completeness. In view of all this, and because of the many requests received for such a publication, it was felt that the preparation of a new and larger work should be under taken; and the present volume is the result. The principal aim of this book is to furnish accurate and, as far as possible, complete information on the earlier skeletal remains of man. If this object can be achieved, or even closely approached, then the publication should be one of permanent reference value, and further light on the problems involved, including further discoveries, may be dealt with in addenda.

Excerpt from The Most Ancient Skeletal, Remains of Man The early history of the human race, though merged in the dark ness Of ages, is step by step being traced and reconstructed; and apparently the time is drawing near when science will be able to present, in the main at least, the definite solution of the profound and involved problem of man's origin, when, in other words, it will be in a position to show, however imperfectly, at what period, where, and how man ascended from the lower orders.

Excerpt from Skeletal Remains Suggesting or Attributed to Early Man in North America The Bureau of American Ethnology from its foundation has taken a deep interest in all researches relating to the antiquity of man in America, and its attitude in considering the various questions that have arisen has been conservative. In the earlier years of the investigation there existed a rather marked tendency on the part of students, and especially on the part of amateurs and the general public, hastily to accept any testimony that seemed to favor antiquity, and the conservative attitude of the Bureau was emphasized by a desire to counteract and correct this tendency. Evidence of the great antiquity of man in the Old World is abundant and convincing, and the assumption that like conditions exist in America seemed reasonable and was perhaps justifiable, although it led to the general acceptance of much that was without satisfactory verification. It has been the practice of the Bureau when discoveries believed to have an important bearing on the question of human antiquity in North America have been announced to seek to determine their just value. In pursuance of this plan its representatives have been sent on occasion to New Jersey, to the Ohio valley, to sites on the Potomac, to Minnesota, to California, to Florida, and to Kansas, to make the necessary investigations. On receipt of reports of the discovery in Nebraska of human crania of low typo and possibly of great geological antiquity, prompt action was taken. Doctor Hrdlicka, an accomplished student of human osseous remains, was sent to Lincoln to ex amine the peculiar remains and to make such investigations regarding the conditions under which they were discovered as he might find possible at that season of the year. When this discovery was announced, the Bureau was about to send to press a paper by Doctor Hrdlicka embodying descriptions of all the known American human remains for which geological antiquity had been claimed. This paper was withheld from publication, however, until the Nebraska specimens could be examined, so that the present bulletin includes descriptions of these as well as of all kindred remains brought to light in North America up to the present time.

Excerpt from Early Man in South America Between the years 1899 and 1907 the writer carried on a series of investigations with regard to the various skeletal remains which suggested or were attributed to ancient man in North America. These studies resulted in a number of publications culminating in a general treatise comprehending the whole subject, which appeared as Bulletin 33 of the Bureau of American Ethnology. The results of the investigations seemed at first to lend support to the theory of considerable antiquity for some of the remains presented as evidence, as, for example, the two low skulls discovered at Trenton, New Jersey. Subsequent researches however, cleared up most of the uncertain points and the entire inquiry appeared to establish the fact that no specimen had come to light in the northern continent, which, from the standpoint of physical anthropology, represented other than a relatively modern man. The possibility of discovering osseous remains of man of geologic antiquity in North America still exists, but, as was brought out in the studies referred to, any find to be accepted as establishing the existence of such man would have to be unequivocally authenticated by the anthropologist and the geologist working in cooperation. The various conclusions reached in these studies seem to have been quite generally accepted and no further discoveries of osseous remains pointing to the presence of early man in this part of the world have been made. While occupied with the subject of mans antiquity in North America, the writer became more directly interested in the reports of related discoveries in South America, particularly in Argentina. It was soon found, however, that these reports, or at least those dealing with the finds of human remains up to 1907, were singularly incomplete and unsatisfactory. The records of the many cases were full of defects and uncertainties which, owing to the distance of the field and other difficulties, seemed insurmountable obstacles preventing the formation of a definite opinion as to the merit of any of the finds.
