Man in California 4,000 Years Ago! Scientists Query Berkeley, Cal. (U.R) Two University of California anthro pologists believe man existed In coastal California "more than 4,000 years ago." They attested that a skull found 27 years ago In an old stream is that old. The anthropologists based their conclusion on the geologic age of the gravel bed where the skull was embedded and the changes that the specimen had undergone The skull was found in 1922 buried under 20 feet of soil and gravel near Stanford university at Palo Alto, Cal. Geologists who examined the site ruled out any possibility that the skull had washed down from higher levels. They main tained that the specimen not only was lull or gravel, but ce mented securely In the same mix ture. Other remains of early man have been discovered, anthro pologists Robert F. Heizer and Theodore D. McCown reported, but circumstances surrounding the discoveries made positive age identification doubtful. Until this latest report, there was little evi dence that man has existed more than five centuries in California. Heizer and McCown believe the skull was of a male aborigi nal Indian about 38 years old. The skull is now in the Stanford university geological museum. VOTES IN THE BAG Baltimore (U.R) Francis X.
