Abstract
The relatively large human teeth that have been found in various Malaysian cave deposits and kitchen middens, and usually ascribed to Melanesoids on their way to their present habitats, in the author''s opinion are evidence that, during the Quaternary, Man evolved along parallel lines, viz., with progressive diminution in general size. No passing macrodont migrants are necessary to explain their occurrence in Malaysia, the area which nowadays is free from big-toothed peoples. Evidence of prehistoric migrations of Man admittedly can be found in arche-ological objects and also in the structural characters of the fossil and subfossil remains but certainly not in the larger or smaller size of the teeth.
