‘SKILFUL FRACTURES’
“These,” he explains, “are only
samples from one particular bone
of what has been proven now for
each of the big limb bones in the
antelope skeleton about their de-
liberate and skilful fractures by
the man-apes to provide tools for
cutting and digging, as well as “thuggery.”
The professor says that the man-apes invented the thug, or black-jack-type of technique the
better part of 1,000,000 years ago,
“and mayhem and murder have
had as long a lineage as man himself.”
“The man-apes,” he adds,
“were the inventors of the tools
and the techniques which produced them and which sapient man was still using 16,000 years
ago, not more than 70 miles away. “Man most certainly originated from a creature with no more brains than an ape. “We have reached the stage prophesied by Darwin that in ‘a series of forms leading insensibly from ape to men the use of the term “man” would depend on the definition we used. “If man is defined as a creature who made tools deliberately, then these creatures were men, If he is defined as a creature with brain larger than that of a
gorilla, then these creatures, who had already invented the osteo-dontokeratic culture which man-kind inherited, and was still using a few thousand years ago, were only apes.”
Is bigfoot man or ape? Are we ape or man?
