northern Rhodesia, in South Africa, seem to show that the lowest modern race that survives in the Australian region was formerly more widely spread in the southern hemisphere. One skull that appears to have belonged to a member of this race, found in a cave at the Broken Hill mine, in northern Rhodesia, is remarkable as having the largest bony brow ridges ever seen in a human skull. It is probably an example of "reversion" to a form common in some ancestral race.The succession of fragments of apes and men already found among fossils therefore justifies the expectation that further discoveries will reveal a multitude of links between the lower (or animal) and the higher (or human) group. The chain of life is undoubtedly complete to its uppermost limit.
