Human Race Is
Years Old Priest
at Least 30,000
-Scientist Asserts
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Washington.—The human race is
at least 30,000 years old, the Rev.
Stephen Richarz, S. V. D., of St.
Mary’s College and Seminary, Tech-
ny, 111., declares in “The Age of the
Human Race in the Light of Geolo-
gy,” a scientific work which consti
tutes the second of the Publications
of the Catholic Anthropological Con
ference. The human race may well
be older than 30,000 years but this
figure represents a definite minimurfi
age. Father Richarz asserts.
“There is perhaps no problem up
on which we find more divergence
of opinion than upon this one of the
age of the human race,” the distin
guished priest-scientist explains at
the very beginning of his treatise.
“Between those who still adhere to
an age of 6,000 or 8,000 years, as
was assumed by the older Biblical
exegesis, and those who are esSSeefl-
Ingly liberal even with millions, we
find all possible shades of opinion.
Thus it is impossible for a nonspe
cialist to find his way through this
great maze. In consequence many
since efforts amongst the greatest
authorities seem to them to show
that we can accomplish nothing to
ward the solution of this problem.
However, the situation is not so bad
as that, and although there are many
uncertainties which prevent the de
termination of exact figures and
which are the cause of the discrep
ancies among scientists, at least a
minimum age can be assigned to
mankind.
After reviewing the scientific
steps which lead to his findings, Fa
ther Richarz says:
“No theological problem is involv
ed, it may be added in conclusion.
Theologians, even the more conser
vative, acknowledge full liberty to
deviate from the figures of the old
er exegesis and declare that the
problem of the age of mankind Is,
fake that of the age of the earth and
of the universe, one which has to
be solved by secular science.”
Father Richarz has before him In
this study, this question: “In what
geologic period do we find the first
unmistakable indications of man’s
presence?” He begins by pointing
to the established facts, that man
was witness of the glaciation in

northern and central Europe—that
man was in Europe during a rather
genial climate, preceding the last
glaciation. Thi3 last conclusion, he
say3, has resulted from studies made
by well-trained scientists, “amongst
whom a number of Catholic priests,
such as Professor Hugo Qhermaier,
the Abeb Henri Breuil, the Abbes A.
and J. Bouyssonie, Professor F, Bir-
ner, are leading authorities.”
