eltic Britain_, 271; Rhys, _Celtic Heathendom_, _passim_; Rhys and Jones, _Welsh People_, cap. i. and Appendix B on "Pre-Aryan Syntax in Insular Celtic," by Professor Morris Jones. [286] Barrows, mounds, tumuli, stone circles, monoliths are generally admitted to belong to the Stone Age people before the Celts arrived, and when they are adequately investigated, as Mr. Arthur Evans has investigated Stonehenge (_Archaeological Review_, vol. ii. pp. 312-330), and the Rollright Stones (_Folklore_, vol. vi. pp. 5-51), the evidence of a prehistoric origin is unquestioned. [287] I have worked out the evidence for this in the _Archaeological Review_, vol. iii. pp. 217-242, 350-375, and though I do not endorse all I have written there, the main points are still, I think, good. [288] Wallace, _Darwinism_, cap. xv. [289] Spencer and Gillen, _Central Tribes of Australia_, 12, 272, 324, 368, 420. [290] _Descent of Man_, i. cap. vii. 176. [291] _Cf._ Topinard's _Anthropology_, part iii., "On the Origin of Man," pp. 515-535, for the details of the various authorities ranged on the sides of monogenists and polygenists. [292] Keane, _Man, Past and Present_, discusses the important evidence obtained by Dr. Dubois from Java, and Dr. Noetling from Upper Burma, pp. 5-8. It is only fair to that brilliant scholar, Dr. Latham, to point out that without the evidence before him to prove the point, he came to the same conclusion that the original home of man was "somewhere in intra-tropical Asia, and that it was the single locality of a single pair."--Latham, _Man and his Migrations_, 248. [293] The most recent example of this is Mr. Thomas's extraordinary treatment of the evidence of migration in Australia. It produces in his mind "novel conditions," but has effects which he cannot neglect, but which he strangely misinterprets. N. W. Thomas, _Kinship Organisations in Australia_, 27-28. [294] Spencer, _Principles of Sociology_, i. 18. [295] Lord Avebury, _Prehistoric Times_, 586. [296] _Man, Past and Present_, pp. 1, 8. [297] Latham, _Man and his Migrations_, 155-6. [298] The ethnographic movement is a very definite fact in anthropological evidence, though it has been little noted. Thus "the Coles are evidently a good pioneering race, fond of new clearings and the luxuriant and easily raised crops of the virgin soil, and have constitutions that thrive on malaria, so it is perhaps in the best interest of humanity and ca
