...Jepsen & Co. were surprised to find no buffalo skulls or horns. Their absence may indicate that Yuma Man felt faint stirrings of art. Perhaps he took the skulls and horns to another place for decorative (or religious) purposes...
...worker and amateur archeologist of Cody, found an arrowhead near a creek bank. He made a note of the place, but did not return until the summer of last year, when he found an odd-looking bone sticking out of the dry dirt. He confided in Dr. Glenn L. Jepsen, Princeton professor of paleontology, who was deep in some digging of his own at Polecat Bench a few miles away. The professor was delighted: old bones associated with arrowheads are glad tidings for diggers...
This summer, Professor Jepsen went back to Wyoming with a nine-man task force which enthusiastically tore into the site with little awls and whisk brooms. Just below the surface they found a mass of man-mangled buffalo bones with the ends broken off (a handy way to get at the marrow). With the bones were arrowheads and spearheads made by ancient nomads whom diggers call Yuma...
Trapshooting tradition was upheld last week at Vandalia, Ohio. In 45 years there have been no repeat winners of the national amateur championship, no women victors. The Grand American Handicap* was captured by Leslie Jepsen, a sparse-haired, thin, nervous electrician from Dwight, Ill. He toed the mark at 19 yards with a pump gun borrowed from a neighbor at home (he broke his own two years ago) and hit 97 clay birds out of 100. His prize...
Because of its resemblance to the lemur, the question arose whether this primitive primate could have been a human ancestor. Dr. Jepsen thought not. Such a possibility would have been more favorably considered years ago when man was believed to have descended from a protolemuroid stock and it was paleontologically fashionable to speak of the "lemuroid phase" in the evolution of Anthropoidea (apes, monkeys, humans). Recent research in comparative anatomy has tended to displace the lemurs, as human ancestors, in favor of a small, tree-living nocturnal animal called Tarsius which has a thumb opposable to its fingers, eats with...
