When the gaseous surface of the earth began to solidify, heat and matter may have produced life in the simplest form, a protoplasm or living atom amidst the watery surface, and then there may have been unity of type, for similar causes produce similar results ;but nature is far too profuse in her methods to have trusted to a single pair or individual. As the waters were gathered up and frozen at the poles, the land appeared ;for if the ice of the Arctic regions were to be melted, the land would be nearly completely submerged. The living forms that inhabit the earth show signs of being derived from a marine origin, and the tail may be considered a relic of those times. Some of these forms left on the land, stranded by flood or tide, were compelled to adapt themselves to their new surroundings or perished.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the roots of many civilizations and languages to a common origin in a prehistoric maritime people, the Accadians, emerging from the islands of Southeast Asia. The author presents a detailed linguistic analysis to support their theory, which finds commonalities in a wide range of languages, from Chinese to Greek. The book provides a thought-provoking historical and etymological exploration of the development of human civilization, suggesting that many cultural and religious practices, such as ancestor worship and the use of temples, can be traced back to this ancient civilization. The author argues that this original civilization was highly advanced, with knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, and seafaring, and developed a complex social and religious system that spread throughout the world as they migrated. The book highlights the importance of understanding our shared origins to appreciate the diversity of human cultures.
