Abstract

Anthropology is based on the evolutionary philosophy. Early discoveries in Europe were used to establish a "sequence of cultures" of prehistoric man which has been extended with variable success to other parts of the earth. Glacial deposits and cave remains correlated with the glacial "period' have been related to the "pluvials" of non-glacial regions again with variable success. This study contains a brief review of the discovery of Neanderthal Man, Pithecanthropus of Southeast Asia, and Australopithecus of South Africa. Evidence is given to show that these "races" were not evolutionary in nature, but degenerative. Earliest cities of the Middle East show a surprisingly high degree of culture. It is noted that early man, as he led a nomadic life, faced adverse conditions that resulted in deterioration, particularly of the skull features, but as they settled down and established an agricultural and urban civilization, these primitive characteristics disappeared. Discovery of modern-appearing skulls below "primitive" ones, or contemporaneous with them, disputes the claim that these crude fornu were the result of "evolution." It is suggested that anthropologists take a new look at the evidence, and align anthropology with the Genesis account of creation and the Flood. The creationist philosophy will give an interpretation that is superior to that of "evolution."
