The discoveries may appear to be, us reported by the writer, the first proof that man at this stage of culturo existed in Asia. But the inferences drawn as to their relative ago are not necas- sarily conclusive, becauso thoro is no evidence available in Europe sufficient to date the period of Azilian culture in Europe. Mr. Andrews thinks that Azilian cul- ture in Asia should be dated as r back as 10,000 years ago, and is therefore older than that in Europe. But there are men of sciones in Europe who would place the European Azilian cul- ture quita as far back as that.
Mr. Andrews reports another discovery of a few implements corresponding to those which in Europo are attributed to the Moustorian age, and which have lately been discovered in asagoia- tion with a skull of the Neandar- thal type in Palestine Sir Ar thur Koith, in an articlo rocantly published in the Times, has sug- gested that Neanderthal man toy have come from Asin: This latest discovery of the American expedi-] tion in Mongolia fits in very well with that suggestion.
