The argument mainly relied on by those who believe in the multiple origin of our domestic animals is, that we find in the most ancient times, on the monuments of Egypt, and in the lake-habitations of Switzerland, much diversity in the breeds; and that some of these ancient breeds closely resemble, or are even identical with, those still existing.
Shortly after the commencement of the iron age, the lake-habitations were abandoned, the only settlement of this later epoch yet discovered being that at Tene, on Lake Neufchatel: and it is a remarkable circumstance, showing the great antiquity of the lake-dwellings, that they are not mentioned by any of the Roman historians.
Dwelling-places of these far-distant peoples such as caves and rock-shelters, and the remains of the lake-habitations that were built on piles, in Switzerland and elsewhere sepulchers, camps, and forts, and an immense number of implements and ornaments of stone and metal, have been examined.
