once Is ii a series aeries of flie fhe l e skeletons A P pta lila pla placard card tells what they are FIRST IS 8 MALL S-MALL LUL The first one Is a 8 skeleton of am small all ape which flourished nourished In the dark ages ael before the tho advent of man The next neal Is a a little larger larrer skeleton that of an orang The next skeleton Is a II little larger and still more erect It Is that of ofa ofa a chimpanzee chimpanzee- Then still taller the skeleton of a gorilla Last Of ot ali alland and tallest and most moat erect the ekel- ekel skeleton eton of a II man A study study of th the skeletons shows that they correspond bone for Cor bone differing only In a ft modification modification cation of o structure which culminates culminates ates atea In tho the the superiority of mans man's skeleton This scientists claim Is Isone isone one of the strongest proofs of evo- evo evo vo evolution lution to be found There Th re are many other facts to tobe tobe tobe be discovered In the museum mu eum to show why scientists 1 believe that man and the ape descended front the common stock For Vor or that I la is nil that science ever that Claimed claimed m man n and the ape were cousin not that man descended from the ape IS Not only do the anthropoid ape aD ap s the gorilla orang orane chimpanzee and gibbon agree acree with man bone for fOl boue but also algo muscle for muscle blood vessel for blood vessel and nerve for tor nerve Even the hair on the arms lega legs and chest sl of Ulan man grow In exactly tho the same sante dIrc- dIrc Llona lions tlona and patterns as does doea
