Every paragraph the index cites under Foxhall peoples, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

64:2.1900,000 years ago the arts of An­don and Fonta and the cul­ture of On­a­gar were van­ish­ing from the face of the earth; cul­ture, re­li­gion, and even flint­work­ing were at their low­est ebb.

64:2.2These were the times when large num­bers of in­fe­rior mon­grel groups were ar­riv­ing in Eng­land from south­ern France. These tribes were so largely mixed with the for­est ape­like crea­tures that they were scarcely hu­man. They had no re­li­gion but were crude flint­work­ers and pos­sessed suf­fi­cient in­tel­li­gence to kin­dle fire.

64:2.3They were fol­lowed in Eu­rope by a some­what su­pe­rior and pro­lific peo­ple, whose de­scen­dants soon spread over the en­tire con­ti­nent from the ice in the north to the Alps and Med­i­ter­ra­nean in the south. These tribes are the so-called Hei­del­berg race.

64:2.4Dur­ing this long pe­riod of cul­tural deca­dence the Fox­hall peo­ples of Eng­land and the Bado­nan tribes north­west of In­dia con­tin­ued to hold on to some of the tra­di­tions of An­don and cer­tain rem­nants of the cul­ture of On­a­gar.

64:2.5The Fox­hall peo­ples were far­thest west and suc­ceeded in re­tain­ing much of the An­donic cul­ture; they also pre­served their knowl­edge of flint­work­ing, which they trans­mit­ted to their de­scen­dants, the an­cient an­ces­tors of the Es­ki­mos.

64:2.6Though the re­mains of the Fox­hall peo­ples were the last to be dis­cov­ered in Eng­land, these An­don­ites were re­ally the first hu­man be­ings to live in those re­gions. At that time the land bridge still con­nected France with Eng­land; and since most of the early set­tle­ments of the An­don de­scen­dants were lo­cated along the rivers and seashores of that early day, they are now un­der the wa­ters of the En­glish Chan­nel and the North Sea, but some three or four are still above wa­ter on the En­glish coast.

64:2.7Many of the more in­tel­li­gent and spir­i­tual of the Fox­hall peo­ples main­tained their racial su­pe­ri­or­ity and per­pet­u­ated their prim­i­tive re­li­gious cus­toms. And these peo­ple, as they were later ad­mixed with sub­se­quent stocks, jour­neyed on west from Eng­land af­ter a later ice vis­i­ta­tion and have sur­vived as the pres­ent-day Es­ki­mos.
