Show Malay Tribe Backward t as Men of Stone Age f Heidelberg. All races of the world (. have shown more or less predilection r toward civilization, excepting a, tribe j. of Malays in the wilds of one of the Celebes Islands in the Dutch West i Indies, asserts Professor Buseler, an J anthropologist of Vienna, writing in a j German medical juurnal. I These natives are all left-handed, j chew their food with a grinding mo- i, tion of the jaw, like an r.pe, have long E arms, live in trees and use their feet , as well us their hands in nearly every- ! thing they attempt to do. It was at the beginning of the Bron;:e age, avers the professor, that man lie- I gan to use his right hand, a sure sign of civilization, but the natives of the j, Celebes are much further removed to- day from any social development than j. they were in the SUono age. |
