PRE-COHI
INDIAN OLDEST
Theories of Antiquity of Man
In Peru Scarcely Borne Out
As Result of Recent Expedi
tion There.
Washington, D. C.—Theories over
the antiquity of man In Peru were
scarcely borne out by the recent ex
pedition nt Hr. Alex Hrdlicka, of the
■ National Museum, according to a re
| port made public today. Nothing sug
gesting u.hything older than the pre-
Columbian Indian was found, it was
j said.
The expedition covered several hun
dred miles of the Peruvian coast, In
cluding hitherto unexplored regions
In the western Cordilleras.
“Aside from the cemeteries or burial
eaves of the common coast or moun
tain people and their archaeological
remains there was no sign of human
occupation of these regions,” said tho
report. "Not a trace suggesting any
thing older than the well-represented
pre-Columbian Indian was found any
where; and neither the coast nor the
mountain population, so far us stu
died, cun he regarded as very ancient
In the regions they* Inhabited. N)
signs Indicated that any group occu
pied any of the sites for even as long
as twenty centuries; nor does it seem
tMat any of these people developed
i their culture, except in some particu
lars, In these places."
The National Museum sayH that the
: insults of the expedition will prove of
I unusual value of anthropology,
"While some of the links of the
'chain of evidence are still wanting,”
I the report declares, "it can now bo
said with certainty that the Peru
\ lan coast from Khlclayo In the north
to Yauea In the south—a distance of
over 600 miles was peopled predom
inantly before the advent of the whites
;by one and the same physical type
|of Indian. The natives seem to have
j been free from general body ailments
! before the advent of the white man.'
