Description

Henry Fairfield Osborn took his Nebraska ape man claim to the world in this note in Nature in August 1922. Four months had passed since his first short paper named the tooth Hesperopithecus. The claim had drawn huge press noise on both sides of the Atlantic by then. Osborn states the case once more, the tooth still his sole proof. The note marks the claim at its most public hour, just before the walk back began.
