HUMAN FAMILY TREE Anthropologist Believes Man! Originated on Open Plat- eaus, Not in Jungies » Dec. 28.—()— A new concept of evolution, one that attempts to shake apes out of the human family tree without altering other ideas of Darwin, was laid be- fore the American Association for the Advancement of Science last night. Its author, Dr. Henry Fairfield Os- born of New York, retifing president of the association, sald: “I am entering a field where I am almost alone. I am adopting a new concept in holding that man’s origin was not in the warm forest, as Dar- win suggested, but upon the open plateaus, without the easy shelter, without the food source that comes readily in most tropical forests, and without the means of retreat from danger afforded in forests by climb- trees, “The concept which I am defend- ing is one that man could not have risen—his brain could not have de- veloped—without severe struggles for existence, against enemies, to get food and to cover ‘his body. Since the forest is proverbially civilization, we beer ret for man’ development a sti iting atmos: phere, such as we live under today. “It is highly significant that 8 the | hose | erage of | ITHREE MINNEAPOLIS MEN HELD IN DEATH OF GIRL UNDER AUTO or | WO ‘Recall’ Cars Struck Pole; Third Says Duo Told Him They Hit Girl | Minneapolis, Dec. 28.—(7)—Signed | statements and other evidence involv- ing three men arrested in the police hunt for a hit and run motorist who killed 12-year-old Annette Sykes here Thursday night, will be turned over to Hennepin County Attorney Floyd B.

Both Glenn and Burrell admitted driving. In his statement Glenn said he was going about 15 miles an hour, threw on the brakes and hit the pole. Bur- rell, in his statement, flatly contra- dicted this point. “Glenn had been drinking and was pretty drunk and wanted me to take him home,” Bur- rell said. Asked if he was drunk, Burrell ad- mitted he had had one or two drinks but was sober. He admitted he had read of the killing of the girl and said he had intended to give himself up.
