AFRICA CRADLE OF HUMAN RAC Joilu-Kuriipran Myth Exploded by Svltuve Sahara Wesert Kajoyeat Ideal (limine, Favorable to Clvlllaa-lloa. hrn Kuropr Wu Covered With r.larlrra. From Biblia. We have just read with interest la little pamphlet by the Rev. Dr.

Joseph E. Haynes (Brooklyn, N. 78 Irving Place. Price 2.1, cents), in which he undertakes to prove that the ancient Greeks and all of the Celtic races as well, wire descended from the Amorian or llaniitic ract. Dr.

Haynes draws his proofs from classical and historical writers, hut to our mind they arc not convincing. He might-have made his argument more convincing if he had drawn upon and anthropology instead of classical writers; All arclueologists, linguists and anthropologists have until recent years been dominated by the conviction that bath civilization and peoples must have their immiestionablc cradle in Asia. Ac cording to the more general opinion, the Aryans had invaded Europe from east to west, and then from north to south, subjugating the primitive and savage j.e pks they met with in the course of their occupation, Before reaching their final destination, they bad begun to vary and in language and other social manifestations, constituting so many distinct varieties of the original single stock. I'rofessur Max Miller, owti.g to his high authority as a philologist and as a Sanskrit scholar, did more than any other writer to popularize this erroneous notion among his many disciples, until it had become the favorite theory with the majority of writers on the subject. In his lectures on the Science of languages, delivered in SOI.

he speaks of a primitive "Aryan Tace," and asserts that there was a time when the first ancestors of the Indians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Slavs, the Celts, and the Germans were living together within the same enclosures, nay, under the same roof, and he argues that because the same forms of speech are pic-served bv all the members of the Aryan familv, it follows that before the ancestors of the Indians and the Persians started for the South, and leaders of the Greek, Roman, Celtic. Teutonic, and Slavonic colonies marched towards the shores of Europe, there was a small clan of Arvans settled probably on the highest elevation of Centra! Asia, sneaking a language not yet Sanskrit or Greek or German, hut containing the dialectical germs of all. It was believed bv many prominent scholars, such as Pott. Lassen. Grimm.

Schleicher, and others in Germany, and Sayce. Min'r. Morris. Keane. and others in England, that the primitive home of the Arvan language was somewhere about the rivers Oxus and Jaxartes, and on the north of that mountainous range called the Hindoo-Koosh.

and that they formed at this time a single and united peonlc, simple and primitve in their way of life, and et having enough of a common national life to preserve a common language. Dr. VV. Z. Ripley, (The Racial Geography of Europe.) remarks "that instead of a single European type, there is indubitable evidence of at least three distinct races, each possessed of a history of it own, and each contributing something 'to the common product, population as we sfe it to-day" Then he adds: "If this be established; it does away with one fell swoop with most of the current mntithings about Aryans and pre-Aryans and especially with suclt ap-pelations as the or 'Indo-Germanic It was not long before the view of the fundamental unity of the European language led to corresponding deductions with regard to European ethnology and anthropology.

Anthropology, meanwhile, investigating the physical characters of European peoples, made it clear that between ancient Italians, Greeks, Celts, Germans, and Slavs there were profound and characteristic differences which showed clearly that they could not all belong to the same human root; that there might be linguistic relationship without blood relationship and that various peoples might have a common civilization without having a common origin. No ethnogranhic question of late years has led to a keener discussion than the origin and affinities of these peoples. French, and more particularly German scholars, have shown conclusively that the Aryan theory is a mere figment of the imagination, wholly contrary to the evidence. The anthropologists and ethnologists have now discarded the claims of philologists, and the new science of anthropology, craniology, and prehistoric nrchTolopy have not only tended the further history of the human race, but show that in Western Eurooe man was not only the contcmpory of the mammoth, and other extinct animals, but his handiwork has been brought to light from a time when England was .1 still united to the continent. Says Isaac Taylor (Foot note Origin the Aryans) "Man must have inhabited France and Britain at the close of the quarter-nary period, and must have followed the retreating ice of the last glacial epoch, to the close of Dr.

Croll and Professor Geikic assign on astronomical grounds an antiquity of some 80,000 years." At the present day the great majority of archaeologists and linguists, philologists and palseothnologists have supported the European origin with ardor, but there has been a general agreement among anthropologists that the present inhabi- tant of Britain. Spain, France, Denmark and Germany are to a great extent the descendants of these rude say-ages who occupied the same regions in neolithic or possibly palaeolithic times. They formed their opinion from observing that the skulls of the present inhabitants of Central France are of the same peculiar type as the skulls of the cave-men who inhabited the same region at the beginning of the neolithic period, and that the skulls of the Spanish Basques belonged to another neolithic tvoe. and that the neolitic skulls from Sweden belong to a third type which is that of the Scandinavians and Northern Teutons. Similar discoveries were made in Denmark, in England, and in Eastern Europe.

Thus, with the investigations of "cologist. who have established the fact that from time immemorial Europe has been the abode of man, the whole arguments which have I v.

In the long ages which elapsed between the close of pleistocene period, and the dawn of history, many races may have occunied Europe, and have passed away without leaving any clue as to their identity. But we know with some certainty, that the oldest population in pre-historic times was non-Aryan, the traces of which are left be! ind in the caves and tombs.

The remarkable series of discoveries made in caves in various parts of Europe, Britain, France, Belgium, and Switzerland, has revolutionized the current ideas as to the antiquity and condition of man. They show in the time when man inhabited these countries, that he was contemporaneous with the reindeer and the mammoth, and of which were living in Europe long before liKlorir tmipf Tli nod ot Great Britain cannot be extended further back than the temporary invasion of Julius C.Tsar, B. C. 55. Before that time we have no documentary evidence of events which happened, but by the modern method of scientific research, we are able to go back many thousand years before the invasion of Cesar.

The caves are natural caverns, ucner-ally found in limestone rock, and they almost invariably contain human bones, weapons, and implements of stone, wood and bone. With these arc found bones of huge mammoths, mammoths' tusks, and of the rhinoceros, the lion and the bear, and the hippopotamus. Implements of stone belonging to neolithic man, arc also found in'Spain, and those found near Lisbon are considred by archaeologists as the most ancient manufactured products yet discovered. They have also been found in numerous parts of North Africa, and in some of the most barren portions of the Libyan desert. Stone implements have also been found near Thebes, in the Nile vallev, and at the Cape of Good Hope, paleolithic forms have been exhumed from diluvial strata some fifty feet below the surface of the soil.

These prehistoric remains have not been found in Asia, and this forms one of the greatest proofs that early man was first developed in Africa, and not in Asia. This we submit to Dr. Haynes as being much better proof than that which he derives from classical authors. In ouartemary times, the most favorable location, where all the physical elements zoologists demand for exeat specializations, was in Africa north of Sudan. Here was ample space, a favorable climate, an abundance of food, besides continuous land connections at two or three different points across the Mediterranean, by which the pleioccnc and early historical fauna moved freely between the two continents.

At an altitude of probably two thousand feet, the Sahara must have enjoyed an almost ideal rliniate during pleiocene times, when Europe was covered by a succession of solid ice-caps. We now know-that the great Sahara desert was then traversed by great rivers. From these well-watered and fertile lands came the hippopotamus, hyxna, rhinoceros, cave-lion, whose remains are found in great Britain and on the continent. In association with this fauna, the remains of primitive man show that the substratum of the European population was of North African origin. The evidence, anatomical, archaeological, and linguistic, support of this conclusion is rapidly accumulating.

G. Sergi, Professor of Anthropology the University of Rdme, hose book we reviewed in Biblia, has made a study of European peoples, primarily from an anthropological standpoint. He maintains that the primitive population of Europe originated in Africa these constituted the entire population throughout neolithic, or wrought-stone, times. From the great African stock were formed these varieties, in accordance with differing conditions! one. peculiarly African, remaining in the continent where it originated, exemplified in the Evntians and certain "copies of East Africa; another the Mediterranean, which occupied the basin of that sea and a third variety, the Nordic, which ultimately reached the North of Europe.

These three varieties are regarded as the three great branches of one species, which Professor Sergi calls Eurafrican, because it occupied, and still occupies, a large portion of the two continents of Africa and Europe. Professor Sergi believes that the Aryans were savages when they invaded Europe, and that they destroyed in part the superior civilization of the neolithic populations who had preceded them, and they could not bv themselves have created the Gr.rco-Latin civilization. It is not Asia, or Africa, or Europe which bec-ime the center of civilization and of dispersion, rather was it the whole basin of the Mediterranean, and from thence the various peoples became ultimately diffused toward the west, the north and Hip Msi. To pstnhlish the original iden tity of the various races professor-Sergi has examined hundreds of ancient and modern skults. belonging to each branch nf so-called Eurafrican race, and these researches have revealed that the ancient cranial forms invariably rcsem hie the modern forms in the same re gions, except where some foreign element hai been intcrminelcd.

M. de ilore not claim for the com menccment of the neolithic period of more than to 20,000 years, but as et have seen. Professor Gcike be lieves tliat oahrolithic man must have occupied parts of Western Europe short ly after the last glacial epocu, which terminated some 80.000 years ago. Geology teaches us, that after the ice period, when man first appeared in the islands which now constitute Great Britain, the continent of Europe stood at a hinher level than it does now, and undoubtedly the British Isles, besides being joined together, formed part of the mainland, not by being united to France only, but by the -resence of dry land all the' way from Scotland to Denmark, over that area now called the German Ocean. Huge forests, such as yet can be traced near Cromer, covered the plains which are now the bottom of the German Ocean, The North of Africa was united to Southern Europe by two wide land- bridires.

one at the Mraits ot tiibraltar, and one connecting Tunis with Sicily ami Itnlv. We are thus able to account for the wide dispersion of the neolithic man and his presence in ureat tsrit nin In nearly every portion of Europe which has been explored, we find the remains of the neolithic peoples, who un doubtedly entered Europe from northern Africa, spreading over Spam, and pass ing over the Pyrenees into southern France. Their remains are found as far north as Scotland, and at least as far to the east as Belgium, traveling by the same route that the Celtic, Belgic and Germanic tribes travelled long ages afterwards, coming from the east and pushing their way to the west. On this hypothesis this great pre-Aryan migra tion would start from the central ota teau of Asia, from which all the succes sive invaders of Europe have swarmed off. At one time it is most likely that the greater nart of Europe was inhabited by Celts, who either exterminated or partly mingled with the neolithic peoples whom they found there.

In the third century B. C. the occupied the greater part of Central Europe, of the France of today, of Spain, and of the British Isles. They were neighbors of the Greeks and Latins. From Bavaria they sent out expeditions by which Rome was taken, Delphi plundered, and a Phrygian province rebaptized Galatia.

Tar Sine re Frlrndahin ot Bath Far the AfrooAmelcaa People an4 Admiration for Their Authors Decliae aad Fall ot Oar Poatmaatm la the Southern Statea. Hrjrilar Correspondence of Tua Aon. Atlanta, December 20. This city is the home of two of the most celebrated Negro dialect writers in the country, Joel Chandler Harris and Frank L. Stanton.

Mr. Harris is more generally known as "Uncle Remus," and his faithful portrayal of Afro-American life on the farm has been the wonder and admiration of the entire country. Mr. Stanton is best known by reason of his witticisms in dialect both in prose and in poetry. He is personally known to your correspondent as a gentleman of a most genial and winsome temperament.

His friendship for the Afro-American people is well known and sincere. Very frequently on the streets he is accom panied by a dignified old Afro-American gentleman whose devotion to him is re markable. Mr. Stanton is not onlv a Irieiid ot the AfnvAmericau ecncral nut evinces an especial -interest in the authors of the race. He has a perfect acquaintance with the works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar.

Charles W. Chc mitr. T. Thomas Fortune, Booker T. Washington and others, and his friend Jy remarks about these writers indicate his unbiased love for genius irrespec tive lor color.

i lit these days when we have so many attempts at dialect it is positively refreshing 1 to; refer to the works of Dunbar, Harris, or Stanton and a few others, I nele Remus is true to life, and nobody knows this better than people who have lived in rural regions of the bouth. where the wonderful smartness of Rabbit" is a source of interest to young Americans without regard to race or color. President Roosevelt, on his recent trip here, was very anxious to have Mr. Harris included in the guests especially invited to meet hint, and is. it is said, an ardent admirer not only of the works but of the author himself.

Mr. Stanton is a most excellent conversationalist, and a half hour spent in his company can be justly counted as a treasure. It is more than likely that during a conversation he will ouotc something from Dunbar, of whom, as was said, he is an admirer. Much of his sayings are obtained at first hand from aged A fro-Americans whom he meets and with whom he always manages to get up a talk. His genuine friendliness impresses them to the point of loquacity, and it is not long before they are telling him of their varied experiences "befo' an' since de wah." Add to the fact of his friendliness the further fact that he never fails to slip a quarter or a dime into their hands and it at once becomes apparent why he is such a favorite among them and why many of them are willing to fight for him if it ever became necessary.

He never seems so interested ps when listening to some old Afro-American tell of slavery davs and the wonderful things that fell to the lot of the old man to do in the way of lifting and work. Mr. Stanton is a genuine student of Afro-American character and a very good stulent at that. lis column in The At lanta Constitution bristles with good- natured witticisms and dialect verse that always breathe friendliness for the A fro-American. The State of Georcia has one or two Afro-American postmasters, and they seem to be gcttmer along very well with no thought of "Necro domination." so- called.

One of them has charge of the ofhee at IJancn, a thriving town, and has made a most excellent record. It is very probable that he will be kept for four years more. He is very well liked by "the whites, and no complaint has ever been made against him, because he knows the post office business as well as any white man that could be given the place. But Afro-American postmasters arc becoming noticeably less in the. South with the flight of years.

Time when every State has "a fair percentage of them, anil things moved along about as smoothly in those days as they do at present. The word, however, was passed along the line that they must be displaced by white men, nnd it has been thus. An Afro-American letter-carrier may deliver letters at the front door of the most stately mansion, but he is not wanted and will not be tolerated at the delivery window in the post office. Just why this is true has never been satisfactorily explained, but it is true nevertheless. Just as Afro-American postmasters are becoming smaller in numbers, another class is gradually dwindling.

It is the justices of the peace who a de-cade ago did a thriving business in dispensing equal and exact justice to all. It certainly is not because there could not be found Afro-Americans competent for the offices, because somehow a justice of the peace is not expected to he a man of great learning. These officials are elected by the people, and in districts where the black vote outnumbers the whjte it always happens that the white man is elected and decides the law as only a justice of the peace can.
