What was the intellectual capacity of man when he made his first appearance upon the earth? Or, to speak with more scientific precision (as the question relates to material evidences), what were the mental powers of the people who fashioned the earliest stone implements, which are admitted to be the oldest remaining traces of our kind? As these people were low in the arts of life, were they also low in natural capacity? This is certainly one of the most important questions which the science of anthropology has yet to answer. . | HIAWATHA AND THE IROQUOIS CONFEDERATION. A Study in Anthropology by HORATIO HALE. A Paper Read at the Cincinnati Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in August 1881 under the Title of A Lawgiver of the Stone Age. Salem Mass. Printed at the Salem Press. 1881. A LAWGIVER OF THE STONE AGE. By HORATIO HALE of Clinton Ontario Canada. What was the intellectual capacity of man when he made his first appearance upon the earth Or to speak with more scientific precision as the question relates to material evidences what were the mental powers of the people who fashioned the earliest stone implements which are admitted to be the oldest remaining traces of our kind As these people were low in the arts of life were they also low in natural capacity This is certainly one of the most important questions which the science of anthropology has yet to answer. Of late years the prevalent disposition has apparently been to answer it in the affirmative. Primitive man we are to believe had a feeble and narrow intellect which in the progress of civilization has been gradually strengthened and enlarged. This conclusion is supposed to be in accordance with the development theory and the distinguished author of that theory has seemed to favor this view. Yet in fact the development theory has nothing to do with the question. If we suppose that the existing and--so far as we know--the only species of man appeared upon the earth with the physical conformation and mental capacity which he retains at this day we make merely the same supposition with regard to him that we make with regard to every other existing species of animal. How it was that this species came to exist is another question altogether. Philologists regard it as an established fact that the first people who spoke an Aryan language were a tribe of barbarous nomads who wandered in the highlands of central Asia. Those who have studied the earliest products of Aryan genius in the Vedas the Zend-Avesta .
