FonsjI' RematDS of the Bffanilor Valley. Travitlaledrom the German Journal Die Kaliir. The question oonrrnin; tbo fin Iqnity of the huinnn nice, which in our times occupies a prominent place in the minds ot t cien' ist., is ol the highest interest; and in consequence of important recent discoveries and researches has assumed ft ew phaie. The discovery of seven teen fossil human skeletons, which, amid the tones of mammoths, mastodons, and other nnti diluvian animals, wre recently found in a cavern Bear Aiirltrnat in the I'yrenees; the disclosure of 1he lacustrine habitations in Switzerland and elsewhere, whose antiquity can to traced higher tip than the commonly adopted Mosaic age of the world, and which already betray a certain development of civili::anon, has thrown a ray ot lipht on the prc-luuorie ac of mankind, and the scientitic world now torns with renewed interest to this important subject. Although many unsustainable hypotheses have been offered and many errors crept into the manuals of natural philosophv, the importance of the ques tion cannot be denied: and as lonp ai man will think, the mystery ol the creation of his on species will form one of the most attractive t cien rifle problems. 1 he highest antiquity of the human race has been established upon the facts which hays been brought to light in consequence of tn perfora tions and other experiments which took place m the delta ol tnoMie, and in that ot the Missis sippi, near New Orleans. 7fLe Le alluvial deposits of tho Mississippi must dnrint; imrnemonal time have taken place in the name manner as to-day, while the level ot the ground periodically sank and rose afrain. The plain in which New Orleans lies rises only nine feet above the level ot the sea. Borings 'in the neighborhood of that city have been driven down to the depth of six hundred Jeet, without arriving at a geological stratum older than that upon which rests tho actsnl alluvial deposits. But the periodical sinking and rising of tho prouud results out of the fact that on occasion, of excavations, made for building purposes, several layers ol forest trees of the American cypress (taxodinm distichnm) were found suc ceeding each other at different depths. The dk'gers had to be replaced by wood choppers who cut thoir way downward through four layers, one above the other, the undermost ol which was so old that the wood could be cut like cheese. In other parts of Louisiana cvon then, sunk layers of cypress trees have been traced, which ' at increasing dopth? follow each other below tho present surface. At a depth of sixteen leet the workmen tound charred wood, and also the skeleton of a man whose bones when taken out crumbled, while the skull, hidden under the roots ol a cypress tree belong ing to the fourth layer, was well preserved and, doubtless belonged to one of the indigenous Ainciican races.' r. li. Dowler consecrated to this subiect a special report, and in this excel lent treatise he carefully considered all the facts by means of which, with approximative accu racy, tho antiquity of the d liferent layers of wood might be calculated, and in order to'keep within the limits ol probabiiity,he purposely everywhere preferred the lowest figures. From these data ho estimated the period since that, when, fer the last timo, the Mississippi delta arose above the level of the sea, at 14,400 years. Now, If .each of the ten periods dining which the cypress forettR, which now lie underground, were "above the surface, were of the same duration, those years must be multiplied by ten. and we thus obtain a period ot 144,000 years as that required to form those imdererronnd Ibiest-layers, end 168,000 years the length of time required to form the delta of the Mississippi. The borinqs ntar the Nile were executed duting the years 1861-64, at the instigation of the (leo lofical Society, of London tho one near Memphis, where the delta is five Knrlish miles large, the other not far trom Heliopolis, where the breadth is sixteen miles. The h oles were driven down to a deDth of sixty and seventy-two feet, and landsnails. bones, and frequently also pieces of earthenware and bricks, were brought tip. The animal remains belonged without ex ception to living species; most lrequently there were tound bones of oxen, swine, dos(s, camels, and as-ses. Since being imbedded in the alluvial soil of the Nile, the Keyptian fauna, in particu lar that of domestic animals, comsequeu:ly re mained unchanged. Of more importance, how ever, are the traces of human industry which have been dus out from the same depth. It is well known that the delta ot the Nile is the pro duct of the periodical inundations of the Nile. If, theretore, it is a tact continued by accurate measurements, concerning the successive accu mulation of the deposits ot the Nile, that near Memphis the increase ot the soil dining a cen tsry was at tho utmost only five inches in the lower delta it is scarcely one-halt of this the gradual uprising of the soil to the extent of sixty to seventy two feet must be supposed to have taken a period of from 14,400 to 17,800 yeart. Theretore, at those remote periods of time, Lower Egypt must have been inhabited by the men who iade (be bricks and manufactured the earthenware which have been brought up Irom this great depth, and who possessed almost the same domestic animate as tne actual inhabi tants of this old country. Nobody can tell beiorehand at what depth below the alluvial formations of our ewn period new discoveries may be made, perhaps in a short time. But by combining the results of the latest researches, "particularly concerning the character of tho Mississippi delta, we may Justly arrive at the conelusion that the geologi cal formation of the present period compre hends at least a period of one hunired thou sand years. Now. as human remains have been tounu in the older formation of the diluvial period, wlilchleertainly comprehends as many years, the existence of man must reach up to an antiquity which may be estimat-d at two hundred thousand or even three hundred thou sand years. In what precedes, we have only mentioned the tuot Important researches and specula- flirts. We shall now speak ot the recent dis covery of parts of a fossil skeleton lound In a prot'o ol the Neandcr Vnilet, near Dusseldort, on the Rhine. The particular Interest which Is a'taehed to tlii- dlecovry lies in the pecu I'nr lotmatton of the skull, which seems to throw a new llphtupon the difficult ftnd much debuted question concerning the true character of the hrst man. The most divert opinions end tudL'iiients have h-en offered on thin occa Fioni l'rote"or C. l'uhbrott, the actual pos iessor ol thefc precious remains, consecrated to the subject a special treatise, and several Ccrtnnn and Knelinh anthropologists expressed them? elves jro and con. Tne tact is that these human bones are of an extremely bigb antiquity, and the abnormal lortnntion of the skull pointB to a particular race ot mankind. In this cranium, tho brain pan i ol the most unusual size, and of a long ellit!cnl form. The forehead is small and tint, while the middle and hind parts of the cranium arc well developed. The skull is symmetrically formed, and there is no reason to suppose the very much depressed lorehend to be of artificial ork'tn. Its formation exhibits the samo develop ment of the forehead which has fiequently been found In very old crnnla, and which is one of the most striking proofs of the influemo of civilizat cii upon tho lormation of the human skull. The very singular formation of the forehead must have given to the human face an extraordinary wild and brutish expression, which mieht'lustly recall the face of the large species of monkeys. The human bones nnd the skr.li whch have been lound in the Neander Valley surpass all hitherto discovered remains in those particular features which point to a rude nnd savage people, and may be considered as one of the most ancient t-pecinicns ot the nboriirlnnl inhabitants ol Kurope who preceded the Indo-Cei'tnnntc imniicrants. resides thee remains of towol bones the atten tion ot naturalists has been directed during the past few years, to the remaitiR belonging to tho . oi.e nre, the lnki, or pa!it?trial cohstrvclions, 01,0 the eo called kitchen offals. Tl'C stone age comprises that very early period duriig which man's implements and weapons were made exclusively of stone. Boucher de Perthes discovered in tho valley of the Somrao, near Abbeville, in Trance, in diluvial strata, tocotbir with the remaiiiE of the bones ol pnehyderms, a great innny flint stones in the shape of a hatchet, without handle and without beine polished, and recoenized in them the first implements of a very ancient people. At first his conlectures were contcsced; tho Ftrata was declared to be ot more recent date, and the hatchets were considered as mere fantastic productions of narnre; but the suppositious of M. Boucher have been generally accepted. These steno hatchets were found, together with bones of elephants, 16 to 17 teet de'P in gravel and sand upon strata of chalk of the latest date of the tertiary formation. There wore also found in St. Archenl, in France, and in a cavern in Fngland, remains ot human bones, together with similar flint hatchets. These discoveries point lo a perioa far prior to the dil.ivium, but the data are yet too scant to warrant any gene ral conclusion. Concerning the pnbtstrial or take construction ref-ting upon wooden pi'es. the first were dis covered in 1K")4, m the Lake of Zurich, in Swit zerland, others subsequently in ditl'erent lakes, ne also in Ireland, Denmark, and Mecklenburg in fiermany. Those of Swhaerland nro ot an older date than any of the others, and may be carried back s tar as 600 years before Christ, of which timo Herodotus relates tho successful de fense of such a fortified lake construction by TbracianB against the army of the Persian Gene ral Meeabazus. Some of those constructions which were built deoper into the lakes, nro, according to very caret'nl researches, of far older date, and reach back probably upwards of 2000 years. The strata which were found round thorn contain, besides, implements mado of bones, claws, bonis, wood, and clay; other implements and weapons formed of stone, brass, and cvon of iron. The animal remains of bones belomr to species still existing, whilo the human crania are not different from those of the bra-is and iron periods, and not even from those of the nctnal fcwiss. The remains known by the name of kitchen offals (in Danish jKjokkenrnodittnrjer) do not belong to so early a period. On the eastern shores of the Danish islands have been found large banks of oysters (some ot them opened), and other musclc-ehells, togetbor with remains of bones, and implements of stone, wood, born, and earthenware. The animal remains belong to all kind ol species which inhabited Europe during the historical times. Bnt as there wero also lound portions of pine trees a treo which has disappeared from Scandinavia it was sup posed that the human remains belonged to a population which, ten thousand years ago, lived on these shores nnder mighty pine woods. This calculation was based upon the supposition of a quadruple change of vegetation, each of which required several thousand years, as this succes sion of veiretation is still visible in the turimoors of Denmark. Tho basis for this supposition is taken from the present period of the develop ment of vegetation. But if in the diluvial period Bcsndinavia was covered with glaciers and ice, and the transition to the presunt period took placo very suddenly, it is to be supposed that, with the procrreKsive hisher temperature, the vegetation of trees must alo have been eonsider- ably quicker tban is the case at the present moment. We conclude these observation'; concerning the fossil human bones, by reternna to the opinion of the late Rudolph Wagner, of Gottin- gen, the greatest autnority m comparative osteology, who considers more of the remains of fossil human bones found among the re mains of animals which belong to the tertiary period, sufficient evidence to prove the great antiquity ot the human race: ana proposes nn archiroloplcal classification of crnnla, and craniologieal maps, In order to arrive at a more reliable basis concerning the problem ot the age of the h una an race.
