differences between them and present-day humans are

man races. In the same way that structural differences
between an Anglo-Saxon and an Eskimo or an African
and a European do not suggest that one race is more
developed or backward than another, so physical differ-
ences between races that existed in the past do not im-
ply that one was more backward or “ape-like” than any
other. These races disappeared from the Earth by be-
coming assimilated with other races or by becoming ex-
tinct in some other way. But they were still fully fledged
human beings, not at all “primitive” or “ape-like.”
