PREHISTORIC MAN.
THE KENT DISCOVERY. LONDON, April 8. The skeleton of a. prehistoric man found in Kent last August shows that the living being had a brain capacity of 1,500 cubic centimetres. There is no trace of the overhanging brow ridges which characterised the skull of the Neandenthal man found in Germany, a discovery which has been of great use to anthropologists. The teeth are much worn, and the molars were evidently lost prematurely owing to abscesses at the Toots. Flints found near the skeleton were of the late paleolithic and early neolithic periods.
