Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations, And, the World's Famous Events That first beginning of man, God's marvellous and mystic act of the creation of humanity, was once supposed to have taken place barely six thousand years ago; but we know now that our human race has inhabited earth for nearer sixty thousand years than six. Scientists incline today to the belief that there was only one creation, or in other words, that all mankind sprang from a single race. But the descendants of that race had spread abroad over every continent long before they became civilized enough to leave any conscious record of their lives. In almost every land today we find traces of these early cave-dwellers. In caverns or in excavations we stumble upon their crude stone-headed hammers, their roughly carved spear - heads, and even upon their own fossilized skeletons, bones which have outlasted the brief life of the body by hundreds of centuries.
