Fig. 117. Scale of ascent indicated in the skull form of eleven races of fossil and living men, based on the result of twelve different char, acters of comparison. At the bottom stands the anthropoid ape, and above this Pithe- canthropus, the ape-man of Java. A wide range is observed between the Neanderthaloid skulls of Gibraltar and of Spy-Neanderthal.
Not far above these in the scale of ascent stand the modem Australians and the re- cently extinct Tasmanians. Above these low races are found t
...he fossil Upper Palasohthic races of Galley Hill, Brux, Briinn, and Pred- most. At the top stand the modem Euro- pean races, beside which the Upper Palaeo- lithic Cr6-Magnon race takes a high rank.
After Buchner.
234 MEN OF THE OLD STONE AGE tain anatomical traits which are normally developed in all speci- mens of Homo neanderthalensis. The simplest explanation of these accidents in most cases is atavism or reversion. We can- not assert that there has never been an infusion of Neander- thaloid blood in the groups belonging to species Homo sapiens, but what seems to be quite certain is that any such infusion can have been only accidental, for there is no recent type which can be considered even as a modified direct descendant of the Neanderthals." This opinion is confirmed by the latest and most exhaustive researches of Berry and Robertson/" who conclude that neither Australians nor Tasmanians have any direct relationship with Homa neanderthalensis; the superficial points of cranial re- semblance are explicable solely on the grounds of the remoteness of the ancestry.
