¶ Early Man

‘"The Roots of Civilization’ reveals an earnestly tested and exciting hypothesis of the significance of the Ishango Bone on the part of Alexander Marshak. This book regenerates my own speculative drives that there seems to be increasing evidence in support of the assumption that man’s intellectual capacity has been altered but little, if any, over vast years of his presence on this planet.
“Certainly it is true that the earliest philosophical statements on record disclose a comprehensivity and profundity, and above all a simplicity, accompanied by great wisdom. The fact that the information sources available when they were written were almost negligible in contradistinction to the information sources of our own day, suggests that the intellect of man may readily have been at today’s highest levels back in unknowable times. Dr. Marshak’s work contributes immeasurably to knowledge in this important field.”
