The first true myDimen: CeremonieelGedragre:3/3/4


ALL
of Europe
not actually under ice
consisted of bleak uplands
under a harder climate than that of Labrador or Alaska,
and it was only when North Africa was reached
that one would have found
a temperate
climate?

ACROSS
the cold steppes
of Southern Europe
with its sparse arctic vegetation,
drifted such hardy creatures as the woolly mammoth,
and woolly rhinoceros,
great oxen and reindeer,
no doubt following the vegetation northward in spring
and southward in
autumn.

SUCH
was the scene thru which our ancestor wandered,
gathering such subsistence as he could from small game or fruits and berries and
roots.

POSSIBLY
he was mainly a vegetarian,
chewing twigs and
roots.

HIS
elaborate teeth
suggest a largely vegetarian dietary?
But we also find the long marrow bones of great animals in his caves,
cracked to extract the marrow.
His weapons could not have been of much avail in an open conflict with great beasts, but it is supposed that he attacked them with spears
at difficult river crossings and even constructed
pitfalls for
them.

POSSIBLY
he followed the herds
and preyed upon any dead
that were killed in fights,
and perhaps he played the part of jackal to the sabre-toothed tiger
which still survived in
his day.

POSSIBLY
in the bitter hardships of the Glacial Ages
this creature had taken to attacking animals
after long ages of vegetarian
adaptation.

WE
cannot really guess
what this early man looked like.
He may have been very hairy and very 'inhuman-looking' indeed?
It is even doubted by some if he went fully erect?
He may have used his knuckles as well as his feet to hold himself up.
Probably he went about alone or in small
family groups.

IT
is inferred from the structure of his jaw
that he was incapable of speech as we understand
it.





FOR
thousands of years
these 'Adams & Eves' were the highest animals
that the European area had ever seen;
and then
some thirty-five thousand years ago
as the climate grew warmer
a race of kindred beings,
more intelligent,
knowing more,
talking and co-operating together,
came drifting into the early 'human' world
from the south.

THEY
ousted the older ones from their caves and squatting places;
they hunted the same food;
they probably made war upon their grisly predecessors
and killed them off?!

THESE
newcomers from the south or east -
for yet we do not know their region of origin -
who at last drove the older ones out of existence altogether,
were beings of our own blood and kin,
the first "TRUE MEN" ...

THEIR
brain-cases and thumbs and necks and teeth were anatomically
the same as our own!

IN
a cave at Cro-Magnon
and in another at Grimaldi,
a number of skeletons have been found,
the earliest truly human remains that were so far
known ...

SO
it is our myDi-race
comes into the Record of the Rocks,
and the myDi-story of mankind
begins?
