Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is the hand, which has marked man from other animals, which has made him what he is. It was to keep his hand from bearing the weight of his body and leave it free for the club and the stone that he originally rose up on his hind legs and acquired the erect position of which we are so proud. It was the new uses to which the hand was put with the weapon, the tool, that built up the brain SO that speech and thought became possible.
