He added that the Himalayan ridge running east and west were gradually raised up sixty -million years ago when Northern India was covered with a great forest swarming with various kinds of apes. Those stranded on the northern ridge were subjected to inclement conditions and wen; also disturbed by the destruction of trees and accordingly "forced to become ground* apes, and the change of feeding habits, as a result of which the type became modified in the direction of man.
