called "Evolution" by Henry T.
Edge:

"According to the real teachings as to evolution, as given by Theosophy,
and speaking for the present only of evolution in this Fourth round, Man
was actually the root stock of the mammalians, and other stocks have
sprung from the human stem. "

The next quote comes from "Man in Evolution" G.dePurucker Chapt 13 "Man
the Repetory of All Types" he says
"Man is his own history". This is a very profound epigram which covers the
entire outline of the evolutionary progress of the human soul. All things
reside in man. He is the epitome of all that is - the microcosm of replica,
the duplicate, the copy, of the Macrocosm; therefore he has everything in
him that the Macrocosm has; not necessarily fully developed ...
Man also holds within himself the history of all inferior types. Man is,
and has been and will be the foremost of the hierarchy of evolving entities
on our earth, the foremostin evolutionary development; and as the leading
stock, he therefore is the repertory, the store-house, the magazine, of all
future types, even as he has been of all past types. He throws off these
types as he evolves through the ages; each of these types becomes in its
turn a new stock, and follows thereafter its own individual line of
evolutionary development.....
