Show That Man of Pleistocene Age Walked On Alt Fours. Paris, Dec. 15. —Abbes Bouysson and Bardon, who are conducting excavations at Chapelle-Aux-Saints, have discovered what are believed to be the oldest human remains, dating back 170,000 years to the middle of the Pleistocene age. The skull presents a strong resemblance to that of a monkey. The other bones are arched, showing that man usually walked on all fours.
