Extract

The common English classification of the Palæolithic Period into the epochs of the River-Drift Men and the Cave Men hardly conduces to clearness of thought. The implements of the River-Drift men are often found in the caves, and those of the Cave Men are very common in the river drifts. Although the caves and rock shelters bring us down to a later period than is usually represented in the river drifts (there appear to be exceptions to this), yet the general succession in the two classes of deposits is the same, and they cannot be separated.
