About this book

Anthropological Scraps, No. 1-5, gathers short papers by Oliver Perry Hay (1846-1930), the American vertebrate paleontologist, bearing on the antiquity of man in North America. Hay was the chief scientific defender of a deep human presence in Pleistocene America, arguing from the association of human artifacts with extinct Ice Age faunas at sites such as Vero and Melbourne in Florida against the scepticism of Aleš Hrdlička and the Smithsonian physical anthropologists, who held that man arrived late. The Scraps press Hay's case in his combative polemical style, examining the stratigraphy and faunal evidence site by site. The controversy was resolved a generation later by Folsom and Clovis, which vindicated Pleistocene man in America. The papers document a famous scientific quarrel.
