“39. THE FIRST (RACE) ON EVERY ZONE WAS MOON-COLORED (YELLOW-WHITE); THE SECOND, YELLOW, LIKE GOLD; THE THIRD, RED; THE FOURTH, BROWN, WHICH BECAME BLACK WITH SIN. (Strictly speaking, it is only from the time of the Atlantean, brown and yellow giant Races, that one ought to speak of MAN, since it was the Fourth Race only which was the first completely human species, however much larger in size than we are now.)
THE FIRST SEVEN (HUMAN) SHOOTS WERE ALL OF ONE COMPLEXION IN THE BEGINNING. THE NEXT (SEVEN, THE SUB-RACES) BEGAN MIXING THEIR COLORS.
It is of course impossible to attempt, within the compass of even several volumes, a consecutive and detailed account of the evolution and progress of the first three races.
Race the first had no history of its own. Of race the second the same may be said.
We shall have, therefore, to pay careful attention only to the Lemurians and the Atlanteans before the history of our own race (the Fifth) can be attempted.”
