I j s. From n single fossil skull discovered In the desert wilds of Central Australia, Sir Colin MacKonzie deduces the fact or at least the conclusionthat "the erect posture dominates mnn's Intellectual system, nnd shows that nil Intellectual develop, metit hns n muscular basis." At first glance It Is a little difficult to perceive how a skull which Is not a whole skull, but only a portion of one, and which Is supposed to be, and probably Is, a relic of a primitive kind of humnn being, enn teach the scientist all that. It takes a good equipment of Imagination to understand It. We must first Imagine the creature from which mnn Is descended going on all fours. lie had not yet assumed the erect position, lie wns then like any other beast of th lutigle.
