THE SEVEN ROOT RACES OF MANKIND - Polirians

1) The first root-race, called the Polarians, consisted of seven groups of astral entities that evolved around 150 million years ago on different zones of the first continent near the North Pole. 2) These early humans had huge, translucent bodies without bones, organs, hair or skin and reproduced through fission. 3) Over time their bodies became more solid but remained ethereal, and the first root-race likely originated between 130-150 million years ago in the Paleozoic era.

THE SEVEN ROOT RACES OF MANKIND

EXPLANATION OF THE ROOT RACES

According to Madame Blavatsky

First Root-Race

POLIRIANS

The fourth round began some 320 million years ago towards the end of the
Precambrian era, a period marked by tremendous geological upheavals. The
first of the seven root-races or humanities was a race of astral entities and
appeared in mid-Paleozoic times, some 150 million years ago. As the seven
classes of human monads from globe C started to arrive on globe D, they
awakened the corresponding classes of shishtas, which began to multiply in
number. The first subrace of the first root-race therefore consisted of seven
groups, seven embryonic astral humanities, evolving on seven different zones
of the first continent, situated around the North Pole.

Theosophy therefore teaches ‘the simultaneous evolution of seven human


groups on seven different portions of our globe’ (SD 2:1). Strictly speaking, it
teaches a modified polygenesis.

For, while it assigns to humanity a oneness of origin, in so far that its


forefathers or "creators" were all divine beings – though of different classes or
degrees of perfection in their hierarchy – men were nevertheless born on
seven different centers of the continent of that period. ... [T]heir potentialities
and mental capabilities, outward or physical forms, and future characteristics,
were very different. ... Some superior, others inferior, to suit the karma of the
various reincarnating monads which could not be all of the same degree of
purity in their last births in other worlds. This accounts for the difference of
races ... (SD 2:249)

The earth on which the first race lived was more ethereal than it is today,
but relatively hard and condensed in comparison with those non self-
conscious ‘human’ protoplasts. They had huge translucent or transparent
bodies, ovoid though somewhat fluid in form, with no bones or organs, and no
hair or skin. They slowly grew more solid, but remained ethereal until the end.

The race was sexless and propagated by fission: a large portion of the body
separated itself and grew into a duplicate of its parent, much as happens with
living cells today. In contrast to the huge and highly ethereal cells of the first
race, our physical bodies today begin their existence as a microscopic cell or
egg, a speck of gelatinous protoplasm, which slowly hardens and grows into
the human form.

The first root-race probably originated 130 to 150 million years ago in the
Silurian or Devonian period, or possibly in the Carboniferous period, of the
Paleozoic era, and ended in the Permian period.
