LIVE STONE AGE MAN
CHIPS BEER BOTTLES
HONOLULU, Jan. 6.—What a live j
8tone Age man does with a beer I
bottle is related by an eye witness, J
Dr. Stanley D. Porteous of the Uni- j
versity of Hawaii.
The stone age ancestors of Eu
ropeans passed 4,000 and more years
ago into a higher state of civiliza-1
tion, but the Australian bushman
is regarded by anthropologists as an ;
actual stone age survival.
Dr. Porteous studied these na-!
tives recently while head of the
anthropological expedition of the
Australian National Research Coun
cil into central and northwestern
Australia.
“The natives of the northwest,"
he says, ‘‘are particularly skillful
in chipping stone or glass spear
heads. The only tools are a sharp
ened bone or stick, some stones and
a piece of soft bark.
"Give a native a beer bottle and
in an incredibly short time he will
have clipped for you a symmetrical
spear head of deadly sharpness and
of symmetrical outlines with regu
larly barbed or serrated edges.
“However, these blacks are not
quite so much of the stone age as
those of the center, where stone
knives and tomahawks are actually
being made and are in use today."
