Now for the first time there is a chance to search for man's be ginnlngs in that period of time named the Pliocene, which ended a full 1.000,000 years ago and be- gan more than 6,000,000 years ugo. Man has been traced hack 1.- 000,000 years In England, and in the Peiping Woman. He has been found so highly developed 1,000, 000 years ugo that many scien tists are sure he must have been extensively distributed long before in the earlier l'liocene corridor of time. During the many years that the American Museum of Natural History has been sending expedi tions to the fiobl desert, there has been one ruling objective a goal never yet fulfilled, That was to find a locution such as Dr. An drews is now headed for. The expeditions found fossil bones of animals 100.000,000 years old, unearthed strange creatures with shapes that not even scien tists had dreamed of, but there was not even a trace of man. IK. Andrews concluded that the tlmelto radio artists and stations. was too early for man.
