T SCIENTISTS LIFT THE CURTAIN PEEP AT EARLIEST FORMS OF FOR LIFE? Silly BRYAN'S teachings as to rhe creation of man fail to stir q ripple of interest at the Chica go Field of Natural History For behind polished glass in bond ■ss bottles at the museum rest the ancestors of vegetable and •ldest inimal life, scientists say. These curious looking objects cer linly do not have any physical re mblance to the general conception early man. yOl’K ANCESTORS Vet scientists agree that these ore the first feeble forms of life ton the earth, and that they must ive been the evolutionary progeni tors of tfie human race. These specimens stepped out ot Creation’s maw something )‘ke 1.000,000.000 years ago. so scientists reckon, and they did their stuff long « ofore Adam starred or the missing^ iink went A. W. O. L It is not known whether these old . >iks ate with their knives. But . iev were a vulgar lot. at the best, or after calling upon the dawning . irth they took their leave via some e volutionary bypath and they never -i> much as left a card behind. There was Grandpap Eozoon. For millions of years he and his fe end all the microscopic little 300ns were supposed to have skit 1. and played tag together under • same old moon back in the earlj r.-dane slime. PLANT OR .ANIMAL v all that remains of the Eo '-k are some faded yellow TRILODITE streaks in a small white patch of rock. Scientists do not even know whether the Eozoon was plant or animal. But they are sure that the yellow streaks were Evolution's cradle for the billion-year development of man. Take your hat off in respect to the Eozoon, likewise bow with rever ence to his next of kin, Mr. and Mrs. Bmchiopod. who came some 500,000, 000 years later. The Brachiopod. as when he died long, long ago, sits today upon a boulder looking for alL the world 1: clusters of tiny brown hemisphere about the size of an ordinary r.: head. AK3SS From the Brachiopods body F. tier but long arms protruded. I immediate relative, the Eozoon, h:u no arms, but Nature gave them t the Brachiopod to travel with an'/ gixib his lunch. “Arm foot.” that ~ what the name “Brachiopod” means Following the Brachiopod came . worm known as the Scolites an then in another- 500,0(j0,000 year; came the Trilobite, who looked lilt* a crab and probably passed dow some of the sour dispositions \<>i see occasionally. Says Professor Oliver C. Farriftf. ton, curator in charge of the mu seum’s new geological exhibit: 'The relationship between the L > zoon and the Brachiopod is un known. The latter was a highly de veloped form of animal, and millions of years intervened between it am the. Eozoon which word wear ‘Dawn Animal.’ • SCIENTISTS STUMPED “What the worm Scolites look- ! like we have no idea. “The Trilobite* which means vided-into three parts,’ was aboi;'. the size of a half dollar. The crc.< ture’s resemblance to a crab wou'.u seem to indicate that some forms o*" modern sea life were derived *rom it “But what the trilobite sprang from or what sprang directly from it we don’t know'.” Good CASH Salary ..and..
