Actually, I take her evolutionary scheme VERY seriously. I
believe it to be true. However, if you read it carefully,
NOWHERE does she say that the creatures who had the human monads
in previous races and rounds were our physical anscestors. If
the 4th root race reached heights of 50 feet, then we can be sure
that this was not the case, as the human frame cannot hold up at
that height. Note that Blavatsky's major disagreement with
Darwin was that Darwin thought that evolution was caused by
random changes; Blavatsky considered them to be purposeful.
