...earth-circling trip last year when he discovered a pure American Indian type among Asian aborigines; noted scattered strains of Negrito stock as far apart as India, Africa and the Philippines; studied towheaded Negroes in Australia; found fossils of a new type of big ape in the Siwalik Hills of Burma; a new place (the Solo Valley) to dig for remains of the Java ape man; two new cave men's skeletons in the Broken Hill country, Rhodesia, South Africa (TIME...
