Athena, Oregon Scientist Points Out How tha Race May Sink to the Level of Lower Savages. "Some millions of years from now an entirely new and more highly or ganized animal may spring from some ancestral stock now relatively ob scure and rise, at first slowly and then more rapidly, to even greater heights of achievement than anything which lies within the cnpuclty of the human species." After tracing the geologic evolution of the earth so far as man knows It, Dr. Eliot llluckwelder of Harvard uni versity, at the meeting of the geolog ical societies of the American Associa tion for the Advancement of Science, tn Toronto, Canada, In these words suggested the possibility of n future usurper of man's pre-eminent place on earth. "As our modern civilization becomes more and more specialized and dlver silied, our relations to our environ ment become more and more complex and our adjustments more delicate," Doctor ISlnckwclder said. ' "Eventually, after all the latest pos sibilities for advancement possessed by the human species have been ex hausted, the race may conceivably sink back to the general level of the lower savages, which are but little above the other mammals."
