LANSING See also:MAN , the See also:term applied by See also:American ethnologists to certain human remains discovered in 1902 during the digging of a cellar near Lansing, See also:Kansas, and by some authorities believedto represent a prehistoric type of man. They include a See also:skull and several large adult bones and a See also:child's See also:jaw. They were found beneath 20 ft. of undisturbed silt, in a position indicating intentional See also:burial. The skull is preserved in the U. S. See also:National Museum at See also:Washington. It is similar in shape to those of historic See also:Indians of the region. Its ethnological value as indicating the existence of man on the See also:Missouri in the glacial See also:period is very doubtful, it being impossible accurately to determine the See also:age of the deposits. See Handbook of American Indians (Washington, 1907).
