There is considerable confusion, for that matter, as to the geological ages as they are understood.24 Such species existed in many of these ages. Man, as you think of him, shared the earth with the other creatures just mentioned. In those terms so-called modern man, with your skull structure and so forth, existed alongside of the creatures now supposed to be his ancestors.
In your terms of history, man appeared in several different ages — not from an animal ancestor in the way generally supposed. There were men-animals, but they were not your stock. They did not “lead” to anything. They were species in their own right.23
Both the man-animals and the animal-men were born with stronger instincts. They did not need long periods of protection as infants, but in an animal fashion were physically more agile at younger ages than, say, the human infant.
The earth has gone through entire cycles unsuspected by your scientists. Modern man, then, existed with other manlike species, and appeared in many different places on the earth, and at different ages.
