From the beginning of lime, there have been differences of
opinion. Every step in the progress of man’s < ivilization has
been directly due to a difference of opinion. Of course there ■

the scientists arc correct in their theory of the descent of man,
we can safely assume that the first ape like creature who re-
fused to agree with the majority that his hands were neces-
sary as an aid to locomotion,—was not at all popular.
Carrying the hypothesis still further, it is equally safe to as-
sume that his fellow -apes permitted him to walk upright other- '
wise mankind would still be trundling along on their respec-1
tive forepaws, eating raw meat which some prehistoric man
