Within the last fifteen years, however, the focus had shifted back to Africa as the result of discoveries of fossil apes in South Africa and Kenya. South Africa fossil apes were of unusual interest in that in certain respects they approached more closely to man than any other known fossil ape, but at the same time their relatively recent geologicam data suggested they were not ancestral to humanity, but a side branch from a common stem which evolved in a direction closer to man than eitehr the gorilla or the chimpanzee. The Kenya fossil apes, which dated back to the periods referred to as the "lower miocene," presented a different problem. A number of different genera of extinct apes had been found, among them the Pro-Consul, which exhibited characteristics closer to man than to apes, while in other respects they were essentially apes.

The Congress, Dr. Leakey stated, had been called into being because at the present time the prehistory of the African Continent was becoming a subject of major importance, not only to workers in the African field but also to those in Europe and Asia. Although the study of the Stone Age started in Europe, especially England and France, in the last century, even before 1900 a number of important discoveries had been made in Africa. Since 1920 work on the Stone Age in various parts of Africa had become intensified, and a certain amount of confusion had arisen owing to the culture being given local names - principally because of minor variations - whereas it was clear that the culture was a single whole.

Task for Congress

'This is one of the things that has got to be discussed and settled at the Congress," Dr. Leakey continued. "Owing to the fact that workers are so isolated from each other the same culture has, in many cases, been given different names in different areas. As the war drew to a close ans as workers in various parts of the Continent started to plan intensive research, a number of leaders, at my instigation, decided the time had come when a Congress should be called into being concerned only with the prehistory of Africa. This would provide an opportunity for the workers to get together and, in public, thrash out their difficulties and problems, in order that new programmes of research could be started on common footing.

"This Congress is the first ever held dealing only with the subject of African prehistory, although many international congresses have been held in the past concerning the prehistory of the world as a whole. It is intended that the Pan-African Congress shall be hels henceforth at intervals of four years, and one of the matters to be decided will be the venue of the next meeting to be held at the end of 1950, or early in 1951."
