News of Lake Delavan Giant Skeletons first appeared on May 3rd, 1912 in The La Crosse Tribune, a local newspaper from La Crosse, Wisconsin.[1] This article stated that the skeletons provided evidence for Darwin's theory of evolution. They believed that these skeletons could be the species that humans descended from. The article described that the skulls they found "slope straight back and the nasal bones protrude far above the cheek bones".[1] The article also remarks that the jaw bones of the skulls are long and pointed and that some people who examined them were remined of the heads of monkeys.[1]
