Abstract
The right man in the right place at the right time." Dr. Raymond A. Dart, Professor of Anatomy at the University of the Witwatersrand of South Africa in the fall of 1924. He had come prepared to tackle the problem of man's origin, bringing from University College, London, a whole series of brain casts of apes and extinct human types, and with his mind full of Darwin's prediction of 1871 that as the "African Apes present the nearest likeness to Man in structure and ability, it is somewhat more probable that our early progenitors lived on the African continent than elsewhere."
