Manners and Monuments of Prehistoric Peoples Experiments on animals with Quaternary flint implements have always been successful, and have had no tragic results, which is the best proof we can possibly give. Manners and Monuments of Prehistoric Peoples His departure marks the end of the Quaternary period. History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science Gooch, after describing the physical configuration of the Cape, says that stone implements are found in all the terraces at whatever level of the Quaternary deposits.
