by Professor W. S. Bullough.

The development of modern primates is largely the story of brain, eye, and hand all evolving side by side in the course of millions of years in the tree-tops. Fossil remains of early men show many ape-like characteristics. These early men belonged to several species but present-day men all belong to the tingle species Homo Sapiens.

'The King':
Walter Catlett

says Bill Townsley to Hywel Davies
He tells how he was born of an ancient Scottish Tinker family and how after serving with the Scots Guards during the war and being treated like anybody else he now finds himself branded a Tinker again. As such he and his children are doomed to live in a tent winter and summer. For them there can be no house and for him no settled job.
