We, he's pretty near the mark.
Actuay...
:18:06
...'m a paeontoogist.
:18:08
-We dig deeper.
-My father used to say...
:18:11
...it is not good to dig up the past.
:18:13
Let seeping dogs ie, eh?
:18:15
We're not gonna get very far
that way, are we?
:18:18
-That depends on where you want to get to.
-The bottom of things, of course.
:18:22
What Darwin did with
his theory of evoution...
:18:25
... intend to do with
my theory of humanoids.
:18:28
-''Humanoids''?
-t means, ''man-ike.''
:18:30
t's beieved amongst paeontoogists
that man first evoved a miion years ago.
:18:36
intend to prove it was
many eons before that.
:18:39
f you'd ike to ook in that trunk,
you' find a piece of rock. Wi you get it?
:18:55
That's it.
:18:58
Now ook at the fossi.
The impression eft in the rock.

-That ooks ike some sort of footprint.

The so-caed dawn horse.
The ancestor of our present-day horses.
:19:13
never saw a horse sma enough
to eave a print ike that.
:19:17
Did you notice it had three toes?
:19:19
Over the period of evoution,
horses have grown arger.
:19:22
And that center toe has become
the hoof as we know it.
:19:29
What is more incredibe
is the fossi beside it.
:19:31
am convinced that
is the tibia of some humanoid...
:19:34
...that existed at the same time
as the Eohippus.
:19:37
Possiby more than 50 miion years ago.
:19:43

need is a good rest.
