Harvard Professor Will Lecture Here On Investigations
"Yucatan: Its Monuments And Its People" Will be Discussed by the Archaeologist
Prof. Alfred M. Tozzer, head of the division of anthropology of Harvard University, and according to Prof. Herbert Feis one of the most distinguished investigators on the archaeology of Yucatan, will speak in Fraser chapel, Friday, March 2, at 10 a.m., the Museums and Its People." He will speak to the Harvard Club at 6:15 a.m. the University Club.
"Professor Tozker has written several books about Mayan ruins and civilization and has also written a Mayan grammar. His most distinguished research has been in the exploration and study of the city of Tikal, Yucatan," said Prof. W. W. Davis. "Tikal is one of the sites of former cities of the peoples who inhabited Yucatan."
Mayan peoples probably reached the highest culture of original Americans, according to Professor Davis. They were great builders in stone, brick, and cement, were skillful engineers, and accurate and profound mathematicians. Their descendants constitute the risk of people in extreme conditions. Matsui and Gatele. They belong to the same racial stock as the Zapotecs and Atzicos. The Mayan culture was the starting point for peoples of the Aztec confederacy and the Atzites were largely Mayan in culture.
Knowledge from Two Sources
"Our knowledge concerning these sources is based on two people are from two sources," said Professor Davis, "the manuscripts from Spanish conquerors and the result of archaeological study and investigation. The latter source is by J. T. Hall and that of Dr. Moore knowledge. Any manuscript sources are very limited in number and vague in substance, whereas the archaeological remains are vast, largely unexplored, and only recently discovered." Professor Tozzer is their significance being revealed.
Investigations Solve Problems
Professor Tozzer's investigations are helping to solve vital archaeological problems, as, for instance, the age of the Mayan ruins, estimates of which have varied from 2,000 to 12,000 years; the origin of the Mayans; the meaning of the extensive inscriptions on the walls of buildings; Mayan methods of irrigating semiarid lands; the significance of the Mayan cross on the ancient Christmas tree; the feathered serpent, best of which are found on the walls of cities; and many other matters now obscure.
"The lecture will be intensely interesting and valuable," said Professor Davis.

New Discovery Would Antedate Evolution of Man Millions of Years
"Until Now, No Clear Evidence He Existed Until Close of Glacial Period"
“Doctor Wolf has made one of the most important discoveries in geology for many years, if he has found a fault,” Russell said of the tertiary period,” said Prof. Russell S. Krappen, of the department of geology yesterday. “It will prove that man existed several hundred million years ago and we now have any real evidence of.”
Professor Knappen was speaking of the discovery of a full-sized human skull, which was recently unearthed by Dr. J. C. Wolf in Patagonia, South American. Doctor Wolf declared the skull of an ancient sandstone and there was no doubt it was formerly the skull of a human being and not an accidental formation. The eye sockets and, what is more convincing, the sockets of the teeth in the upper jaw, are clearly defined. The cranium is long and oval and the skull is broad.
This discovery is in importance, as Professor Knippen, not because he studied the mammals of man, but because it would show that man has existed much longer than we had previously realized. A large proportion of the animals now existing were well developed by the close of the tertiary period, but there has been no evidence that man had developed by that time. There was no pure evidence that man existed until the close of the glacial period, some 50,000 or 75,000 years ago. The scientific world will eagerly await confirmation of Doctor Wolf's discovery and the evidence that the skull was used.
Franz Boss, anthropologist at Columbia University and world famous scientist, declared that if this skull proves to have really been buried during this period it will antedate by hundreds of thousands of years any human relic thus far discovered. It was in the tertiary ages that the earth assumed is present general geographic form.
