In the ani- mal kingdom there is one very striking example—the axolotl of Mexico, a spe- cimen of which now is at the National Zoological Park. This is a salamander which remains a tadpole all its life, be- coming sexually mature in this form, But by suitable feeding in the labora- tory it can be made to change into an dult salamander fitted for life on land. very ‘ndividual salamander, just like every individual frog, must pass through the tadpole stage in its infan curious axolot! simply fails to ma metamorphosis to up in its baby Some similar phenomenon in the a an believes, i5 shown b the pre-Bush skull to have been partly responsible for the human race. The young, perhaps before birth, failed to make ihe essential metamorphosis into apes but went on growing and de- veloping 1 their foetal or infantile form. That this principle of pedo- The ke the grow of morphosis has had its place in the evo- lution of higher animals, Drennan be- lieves, is as well established as the con- trary principle of “gerontomorph much better known, by which the sta in the evolution of the race from the beginning are “telescoped” into the de- velopment of the embryo. 1 was that of an elderly The most striking fea- ture was the extraordinary size of the cranium, or skull bone.

But it is very close to the ratio found in a Bushman child. Dren- nan calls this “a harmonius enlarge ment of the infant skull.” Careful ex- amination of the teeth also showed striking infantile characters. Detailed analysis, Drennan says, shows this pre-Bushman skull ultra-modern ny of its features, surpassing the an in almost every direction. he points out, the skull of the t, or even embryo, European is S5 in shape and proportion than dult Europear 1. This might lead to the supposition that there lived a superman in the African jungles un- told centuries ago, except that the white infant certainly is not really superior to the white adult Now, Drennan onic skull forms apes are much more lult forms.

The simian or ancestral foetal stage has be- | come retarded, so that the foetal pat- tern has infantile man. “It is not contended that the pre- Bushman actually jumped the gap in the manner indicated.

The Neanderthal foetus and even the young infant-were probably not very far | from the corresponding stages in the development of homo iens, so that | it is quite possible that by a process of retardation they gave rise to a Bushman-like form.” Bushman_and Neanderthal man, he | points out. both present the curious in- | fantile_tooth anomaly as evidence of a very close relationship. “It would seem legitimate by ana- | legy,” he concludes, “to regard the pre- | Buchman as In a Somewhat plastic juvenile condition with the potentiality | of evolving further into other human | types.
