*</nowiki> Let us remember in this connection the esoteric teaching which tells us of Man having had in the Third Round a gigantic ape-like form on the astral plane. And similarly at the close of the Third Race in this Round. Thus it accounts for the ''human ''features of the apes, especially of the later anthropoids&nbsp;—&nbsp;apart from the fact that these latter preserve by ''Heredity ''a resemblance to their Atlanto-Lemurian sires.
