ARE APELIKE MEN OUR ANCESTORS? 89 and moronic looking, giving the impression that here is an apelike ancestor of man. Other fossils that also were once placed in different categories are now classed the same as modern man. Those known as Cro-Magnons resembled modern man in all important aspects. In fact, Science Digest said: "Since the Cro-Magnon man . . . the human brain has been decreasing in size."148This indicates degeneration, not evolution. Similarly the Chicago Tribzme, commenting on the remarks of Dr. Ernst Mayr about the human brain, says: "The trend, now, may be in a downward direction. . .The Harvard scientist says the increase in human brain size-a characteristic that sets man apart from all other animals-stopped nearly 100,000 years ago."lg That many of the fossils once listed as "prehistoric" are not such a t all is seen from the striking fact that fossils of modern-type men have been found in the same strata, or even in earlier ones than "prehistoric" fossils. Most evolutionists choose to ignore these, for they do not A t the preconceived idea of transformation from the brute beast. Biology and Its Relation to Hankind comments :

'There was a time when it was thought that perhaps modern man was a direct descendant of the Java man, the .Rhodesian man, and the Neanderthal man. As the evidence has accumulated, however, it appears that this is not possible, because some ancient remains of true man have been found which were contemporary with the remains of some of these other forms!'l60
This same point was noted in 1963 by Professor F.Marsh, a biologist, in Evolution or Spcial Creatim? He said: "Another example of tampering with the evidence was furnished by Dubois, who admitted,
