Hill Tout Claims Polygenetic Origin Of Man In Dawn Man Find

Dr Charles Hill Tout aims to present to the Royal Society of Canada evidence that man is polygenetic rather than monogenetic in origin. He cites discoveries from skull surveys and the fossil Dawn Man Ecanthropus found in 1912 England, arguing that such finds undermine single-line ancestry and support multiple ancestral lines in human evolution. A photo archive will illustrate his theories.
