MAN'S FORBEARS.
FIRST LIVED IN SAHARA. CAPETOWN, July 7. General Smuts brilliantly surveyed ideological, climatic and anthropological research in recent years, and, in an address to the South African Royal Society adopted the view that the original home of homo sapiens was in the Sahara. This race, he believed, invaded Europe from 40,000 to 50,000 years ago and the forbears of the bushmen and the Europeans of to-day were not then very far apart in type and race. The bushmen degenerated owing to desert conditions in Africa.
