“The early races of man lived in their Garden of Eden, shadowy beings in an unearthly paradise, not subject to disease or physical decay, unaffected by the severe climactic and geological changes that rocked the world. But as earth began to stabilise, slowly becoming a world capable of supporting physical life, the descent of spirit into matter continued and the third race appeared.”
