What's the 1944 reference?  I recall Adamski talking about that sort 
of thing, but he didn't get started until the 50s.  Or did he?  I don't

 PA> Again, I think it's supposed to be an advanced-race indicator.
I'll admit that's quite correct.

Yeah.  Interesting situation, no?  Of course, our anthropologists monitor
isolated tribes, but do not realy study them intensely, so we might be
