Abstract
The fossil remains of what have been viewed by evolutionists as "Adam's ancestors" have long captivated the interest of anthropologists, paleontologists, and others interested in man and his relationship to the rest of the animal world. The present study analyzes the distribution of the hominid fossils throughout the Old World. That distribution points out that the most "primitive" types appear on the periphery, while the most advanced forms appear closer to the center of the Old World, the Mesopotamian Valley.
