The | Havana scientist uncovered exact- | ly 2,000 skulls before he made his ‘discovery in Saneti Spiritus | Because the skull is thousands of years old and because it be- about this skull are the Cu- h a highly de- Weis main- tains that it is conclusive evidence that an advanced race inhabited parts of Cuba in prehi e times. Further search, the Cuban scientist believes, will bring to [ght new proof of the ex supermen in’Cuba. The race is beli vaded the American continent from Asia thousands of years ago and settled in Mexico and certain insular points. The Sancti Spiri- tus skull is of a east of a highly developed Mongolian. and size indicates that the pre- historic indiv'dual was far superior intellectually to his contemporar- ies in other parts of the world. Dr. Weis does not compare the} relic to the Neanderthal man of South Africa or any other accept- es of primitive man, but he stands firmly on the belief that it is one of the rarest archaelogical discoveries of the New World. Although he was not in search of prshiatarie fragments to prove the existence of an advanced race in the Americas when he stumbled into the skull at Sancti Spiritus, Dr. W has since made extensive research in that direction. The scientist’s chief aim was to find well preserved dental-arches in specimens of early humans for the benefit of Havana dental students.
