Removing the Curse From Darwinism
A columnist reviews Dr Leon J Williams proposal that a 500000 year old skull found near Folkestone could rewrite human origins. Williams argues a split evolution where man and ape diverged, suggesting the skull belongs to early man rather than a gorilla. The claim hinges on skull and jaw features, cave deposits, and similar finds in Heidelberg and elsewhere.

The Missing Link Debate in Darwinian Theory
The text contrasts descent from familiar apes with a shared common origin. It questions why the simple explanation of a common ancestry took so long to be proposed.
The Football Hero Beyond the Field in College Life
