Indian Ocean. Here the land is of moderate height above sea-level; the jungle was too thin to enable early man's animal foes to infest it in large numbers; he could find shelter in bushes and on tops of trees. The climate was as equable then as it is now; atmospheric conditions did not require that his skin, comparatively denuded of hair, needed any protection in the form of dress, which he had to provide himself with when later he spread to less favourable climates. The soil, not far from river valleys, retained enough water to meet the wants of early man, who for want of pots could not live very far from sources of water-supply. Moreover, “Homo-primigenius was probably at first mainly a vegetarian ...................... It can be pretty safely assumed, judging from the teeth of the earliest skulls, and from the lack of implements, that prior to the Chellean age (the lowest Palaeolithic Age) primeval man was chiefly a vegetarian, except for such flesh as was furnished by small animals.” The fruits and nuts which formed the main portion of his diet were available in plenty in the fringe of the Da-dakƒra-yam........... “This conclusion, reached on a prior consideration, is amply borne out by the results of the search for relics of early man conducted so far.”¹

      According to the Bible, God created all species by separate acts, and Man was created as Homo divinus, who as a result of his sin became Homo naturalis or Homo primigenius. After having passed through several stages of civilization, Homo naturalis has become Homo sapiens or the Modern Man.

      The evolution of Homo sapiens and that of the Tamilian or Homo Dravida seem to be identical.

      In addition to the discovery of the relics of Pithecanthropus erectus, in Java, a residual part of Lemuria, by Dr.Eugene Dubois in 1891-92, remains of several other types of primitive man have been found recently in South Africa, which was contiguous to “Lost Lemuria.”
