EveTo recall, Lemuria assumes a cartographic identity for the Wrst time in 1870,in a German map that appears in the second revised edition of ErnstHaeckels Natrliche Schpfungsgeschichte. Reprinted a few years later, in 1876,in English and with some minor variations, the map is revealingly titledHypothetical Sketch of the Monophyletic Origin and of the Extension ofthe 12 Races of Man from Lemuria over Earth (see Fig. 3 ).38 The map inGerman is of Earth today, with its continents and oceans clearly outlinedand roughly drawn to scale. The shadowy contours of Lemuria extendfrom Madagascar through India to the islands of Southeast Asia. Its boundariesare left fuzzy, but it is clear that it is a landmass that lay almost entirelyin the southern hemisphere, south of the Equator but north of the Tropicof Capricorn. Fanning out from Lemuria are numerous arrows signifyingthe movement of the twelve races of man as they moved out of Paradise concerns of this chapter.
