SCIENTIST FINDS "MISSING LINK”?

Capetown.

Dr. Robert Broom, famous Scottish-born South African scientist, announces that the fossil of a skull unearthed at Sterkstroom, in Cape Province, "is pro- bably the most important discovery of its kind in world history."

"It is the nearest approach to man ever the fossils of anthropolds,” he continued.

Africa's Anthropoids

found among

"It is now a certainty that South Africa in Pleistocene times was inhabited by many large anthropoids which resem- bled man more closely than the chimpanzee or gorilla.

"Man probably evolved from this anthropoid which existed 2,000,000 years ago.

"The skull, though not quite complete, shows everything except the size of the brain. Half the face is preserved, with the whole of the lower half of the left side of the skull, show- ing the check arch and car and the articulation for the jaw, Unlike The Gorilla

"We have practically a complete palate, with most of the teeth and nearly a completo lower jaw. The face is unlike that of a gorilla, being remarkably Rattened and the muzzle very short,

"The car region and the hinge region from the lower jaw are remarkably human, though very much larger.

บ

Dr. Broom thinks the size of the brain about 600 cubic .centimetres, and thus definitely sub-huthan.

Professor J. B. S. Haldane, commenting to the News Chronicle on the discovery of the skull, said:

"Dr. Broom is one of the two greatest experts on fossils in the British Empire, Scientists will await with great interest fuller information."

[Pleistocene is the name given in geology to the period which saw the arrival of the Ice Age.].

Bible As Modern Novel Will Cause

Sensation

Publication of the New Testament in the form of a half- crown novel is expected to cause a sensation in religious circles.

•

Printed in modern type with a two-colour dust-jacket sale on and coloured binding, the translation was put on September 21, the publishers being the United Society for Christian Literature.

But the appearance of the book, unusual though it may be, will not cause half so much controversy as the wording of the translation.

The Rev. R. Mercer Wilson, gen- eral secretary of the Religious Tract Society, who is the translator, has made many striking changes in the text, and some of his interpretations will cause widespread discussion and arguments.

In order to get what he claims to be the true meaning of many passages, he has reverted to early Greek manuscripla and to Tyn- dale's Bible.
