Lemuria was said to have been the place where early and primitive species of human beings first evolved, which like lemurs still had tales. Unlike lemurs they were also said to have been hermaphroditic egg-layers - so, at least, according to the Theosophical version of evolution. Human souls had allegedly evolved separately in an even earlier continent called [[Hyperborea]], situated in the far north. Lemuria gradually subsided into the sea in a series of cataclysms over millions of years, eventually giving way to [[Atlantis]].
