Note 1646 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

Lois Agassiz advanced (1863) this view of the first emergence of land in America, in the Atlantic Monthly, xi. 373; also in Geol. Sketches, p. 1,—marking the Laurentian hills along the Canadian borders of the United States as the primal continent. Cf. Nott and Gliddon’s Types of Mankind, ch. 9. Mortillet holds that so late as the early quaternary period Europe was connected with America by a region now represented by the Faröes, Iceland, and Greenland. Some general references on the antiquity of man in America follow:—Wilson, Prehistoric Man. Short’s No. Amer. of Antiq., ch. 2. Nadaillac, Les Premiers Hommes, ii. ch. 8. Foster, Prehistoric Races of the U. S., and Chicago Acad. of Sciences, Proc., i. (1869). Joly, Man before Metals, ch. 7. Emil Schmidt, Die ältesten Spuren des Menschen in Nord Amerika (Hamburg, 1887). A. R. Wallace in Nineteenth Century (Nov., 1887, or Living Age, clxxv. 472). Pop. Science Monthly, Mar., 1877. An epitome in Science, Apr. 3, 1885, of a paper by Dr. Kollmann in the Zeitschrift für Ethnologie. F. Larkin, Ancient Man in America (N. Y., 1880). The biblical record restrains Southall in all his estimates of the antiquity of man in America, as shown in his Recent Origin of Man, ch. 36, and Epoch of the Mammoth, ch. 25.
