was Adam the First Man,

About the middle of the seventeenth
century an audacious attempt was made
to rob Adam Of the honor of having
been the first man. Isaac de la Peyrere,
i'll an odd little volume entitled THE
Pre- Adamites, attempted To prove that
there were two creations of men-the
first on the sixth day Of the week of
creation, when God created man male
and female" The rabbis irtcrprct the
above passage Of holy writ as meaning
that the first race Of human beings We're
creatures in which both sexes were unit
ed in the same individual. According
to De la Peyrere, Adam was the result
Of the second creation-the male and
female" being having been the progen-
itor Of the Gentiles, Adam the father Of
the Jews.
A great many people fell in with the
views Of De Ia Peyrere, and he was the
lion of the hour. His followers were
called ''Pre-Adamites. and they in
creased in numbers rapidly, until finally
the movement became SO strong that the
founder Of the sect was compelled TO 90
