'''Lemuria''' was an ancient continent in south-east [[Asia]], [[Australia]] and the [[Pacific Ocean]] that gradually subsided well over a million years ago, according to both 19th century geology and the doctrines of the [[Theosophical Society]]. It was named after the [[lemur]], a species of primate that exists in these regions, but also shares its name with the ''Lemuria'', the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] festival of the dead on 9, 11, and 13 May. Lemuria was said to have been the place where early and primitive species of human beings first evolved.
