AMERCAN INDIAN | CALLED NMIERANT Probably Came From Asia, Thousands of Years Ago, Institute Told. Special Dispatch to The Star. TORONTO, Ontario, May 7.—Holding that the Indian was an immigrant to this country thousands of years ago and that he did not originate here, but came probably from Asia, Barnum Brown of | the American Museum of Natural His- tory, New York, who addressed the Royal Canadian Institute here, says that the redskin possibly sprang from the Mongolian race. Wrld traveler and man of science, Mr. Brown has sought to enhance his knowledge on the evolution of man from the Arctic to the Antarctic; he excavated the first dinosaur for the American Museum, and the great hall of fossil reptiles has been built up under his direction. Forty cultures of early man in Amer- ica have already been fairly verified— the Maya peoples, representing the | highest civilization developed on the continent, about 4.000 years ago: the basket makers of the Southwest, manu- facturers of genuinely artistic products; the Pueblos, who were flourishing round 1100 A. D., clever folk who built enor- mous houses capable of accommodating 500 people. “Yes, there were some cultured people on this continent many, many years ago,” Mr. Brown said. Records left by the Maya people, he declared, went as far back as 2000 B. C., and evidence of the customs of many other peoples of the continent thousands ©of years ago have come to light. Million Years Old. "Mln is probably a million years old,” he says. “Probe deep into the story of his evolution and no apes are found in his family tree—but 1,000,000 years ago prehistoric man was hardly more advanced.” Tracing the various races of mankind Europe, Mr. Brown, through his Tesearch work, is able to shed light on the arrival of man in America through & review of the various cultures that have been revealed. “Research work conducted in New Mexico for the past three years has provided us with much interesting ma- terial,” he sald. “We have found be- tween 40 and 50 skeletons of prehis- toric bison—and from these we have recovered 16 arrow points of a totally different kind from the modern arrow used by the Indians.” This, Mr. Brown declared, revealed a different thought in archery and was an_important and interesting discovery. Earth covering many specimens was of such a structure that it was evident they had been when there was little if any rainfall in New Mexico— the ice period. ‘Wants Expert Opinion. “Evidence of these cultures is often; lost through the discovery being made by a layman, who, with a total dis- regard for the curcumstances of the find, is anxious to tell all about it Mr. Brown said. Often, the visitor said, the folk making the find were perfectly sincere in how they described what they foune, but their lack of knowledge concerning the smaller, but none the less impor- tant, details of their find reduced their discoveries to little value.
