A. The migrations of mankind from that original home cannot be intelligently mapped until that home has been discovered, and, further, until the geology of the globe is so thoroughly known that the different phases of its geography can be presented; and these must be settled upon purely geologic and paleontological evidence. B. Since that time, the surface of the earth has undergone many and important changes. C. If we accept the conclusion that there is but one species of man, we may reasonably conclude that the species has been dispersed from some common centre; but this original home has not yet been ascertained with certainty. D. All known camp and village sites, graves, mounds, and ruins belong to that portion of geologic time known as the present epoch, and are entirely subsequent to the period of the original dispersion as shown by geologic evidence. E. The dispersion of man must have been anterior to the development of any but the rudest arts.
