French writers make four divisions of these caves, according to
the degree of finish, which the specimens show. Mr. Dawkins
does not think the difference in the implements sufficient to
justify this view. With the possible exception of Le Moustier,
as stated above, we think his view correct, which is also the
opinion of Mr. Evans. (“Ancient Stone Implements,” p. 439.)

It is, however, thought that the station was used as a
camping-ground by very different people, at widely different
times.

Lubbock’s “Prehistoric Times,” p. 338. J. C. Southall, in his
valuable work, “Recent Origin of Man,” p. 195, _et seq.,_
argues that pottery was known at this time, and cites instances
where it is stated to have been found. This is the opinion of
Figuier also. (“Primitive Man,” p. 54.) But Mr. Dawkins points
out that these pieces of pottery are clearly of a Neolithic
style, and does not think it proven that they are of
Paleolithic age. Mr. Geikie also denies that there is any proof
that they were acquainted with the potter’s art. (“Prehistoric
Europe,” p. 18.) So the highest place in the scale of
civilization we can assign these people to is that of Upper
Savageism.

This, as Sir John Lubbock points out, depends on our meaning of
the word “religion.” (“Prehistoric Times,” p. 589.)
