MILLIONS OF YEARS ADDED TO MAN'S AGE New Method of Figuring Evolution Is Envisaged in Report. BY BATES RANF.Y Tnited Press Staff Correspondent NEW HAVEN, Conn.,' Nov. 16. Scientists have found a way to figure that prehistoric elephants are a million years older than generally figured. Their method for so figuring was explained here today by Henry F. Osborn, director emeritus of the American Museum of Natural History. He spoke at the national academy of sciences in session at Yale. An entirely new conception of evolution is envisaged in the method he explained, which calls for determining the age of the man by means of the enamel moldings on elephants’ grinding teeth. Lifetime of Research Osborn’s theory, the result of a lifetime of research, introduces a new ganometric method of subdividing plio-pleistocene time, 50,000 to 100,000 years ago, and determines the age of human relics by the age of the fossil elephants teeth found with them. Osborn opened the three-day fall meeting of the academy in which a score of internationally known scientists are to present papers ranging from the Arizona expedition to study meteors, to the prehistoric saber-tooth cats of Rancho La Reba, and the latest experiments in radio broadcasting. The ascent of man up the ladder of culture from the stone age, the oldest known period of pre-historic man's culture, was described by George Grant MacCurdy, research associate in prehistoric archeology at Yale. Welcomed by Angell He revealed that seven perfect rock crystal tools used by prehistoric man recently have come to the American school of prc-historic research from three adjoining departments in southern France, attesting the growing culture of the old stone men half a million years ago. These individuals, short, husky types with bushy hair and protruding jaws roamed France a half millions years after the true human first appeared, by Dr. Osborn’s new standard. The members of the academy and their guess were welcomed to Yale university by President James Rowland Angell. He called their attention to books illustrating the history of science now on exhibit at the Yale library.
