The Unity of Mankind;
Have all men, in all ages, and in all countries, de
acended from Adam, as their common progenitor
Although this question is one which
ought to come home to every man's bosom,
its discusaion hitherto seems to have inter.
ested only men of learning, and has been soon
dilated through the medium of such books
and periodicals as are not accessible to the
many. it is a question to which; it might
have been supposed, there could be but one
response from those who recognize the
Divine authority of 'the sacred Scriptures.
And yet, genie of this class, among them
one of the most learned men of our age,
openly, advocates the doctrine, that mankind
are not all derived 'from the same original,
stock I
Peyrerins himself, whose work the follow
lng chapter was designed to refute, professes
to be a Christian, and in
,the discussion of
this question, deduces arguments from the
Scriptures, as well , as,from.,profane.history,
and tititttral
The subject being one which touithes the
condition d every huinan solid[ 'there is
naturally a desire - thatthe arguments, pro,
and con., should be preseitted to the public
in a plain and popular style.' As. iontri.
button toward the'gratifkation of so reason
able a desire, and afthe same time to show
to the curious how the subject was handled
nearly a century ,since, by a European
savant, I send' you, in homely English, a
a chapter from a work in latin entitled, A
System of Dvntatic Theology, by P. M.
Garzaniga, .erOfessor anthe' University of
Vienna ; published in 1781.
Although a man of learning, and a Ito.
man Catholic, Gazzanigestrain of argument
is such as may be readily oomprehended by
readers of very moderate education, and is
not, in many things, at variance with the
views of the :,generality of Protestants.,

CHAPTER. XVI.
in whieh the aystem of the Pre-Adamitea is ex
planed, and refuted.
§ 118. Isaac Peperius, in the year
1656, published a book, entitled, g 4 Prae
Adamilmse," in which he contended that
there were two distinct races of men, the
first of which was referred to by. Moues in
the first chapter of Genesis, the other in the
second chapter ; that in the second chapter
the creation of Adam was
_described, but in
the first; the creation of another man,, many
yeari,nay,many ages before; and that from this
last named creation the Sentiles had - their
origin, and that the Jews were the posterity
of Adam.
Nevertheless, this erroneous opinion, to.
gather with Calvinism, which also - be had
eaponsed, he has since solemnly. renounced
at Rome, before Pope Alexander VII.
§ 114. It is easy, from the Scriptures
themselves, to refute this wild imagination
For Noes clearly intimates that he spoke
of the very tonne man in. the Carat, as in the
second chapter, with, Ibis difference only,
that in the second chapter the narrative is
fuller and more particular. Then in the
fifth chapter, repeating what he had said in ,
the Arst, he ,plainly declares that Adana. Was.
the first man made by God; his words are,
" This is the book of the generation of
Adam, in the day in which God created
mat t he made him in the, likeness of God,-
male ,and female made he .thera, and bleised
them, &o." To this, add what is said in
chap ii : 5, " And there was no man who
should till the ground," which would , have
been false, on the hypothesis of the Pt e-
Adamites. Lastly, in Genesis iii : 20, Eve
is called "the mother, of all living."-
§ll5. Further, this story of the , Pre.
Adamites is fairly exploded by otherSorip•
taro testimonies.
In The Wisdom of Solomon x ::1, Adana
is called ."
the first formed father of the
world."
In Acts 26, BM says of God :
"And be bath made of one, all nations of
men, to dwell on all the fUce of the earth."
It is coolly, remarked by Pererins, that in
the original Greek the reading is ex enos
aintatoe, of one blood; or as he interprets
of one material, or of one nature. But in
our common way,of speaking, we fay those
are of one blood ,who descend from the'llatne
stock. Moreover, in the most ancient Greek
codex of Aleiandrlay the wall translated
blood is wanting, as it is also in the - Latin.
§ 116. Lastly, a third argument against
the Pre•Atiaraites, and that of no small im
port, is drawn from original Mn, which, our
faith teaches us, passed 'front Adam upon all.
mankind ; but this dogma of our religion
.
must fall to the ground, if there W . Cie 'other
men of a different origin; for 'not by an
outward imputation' only, did this.. guilt of
Adana pass upon all wee, as Peyreriuka-would
have it, but it in truly and really,montraoted
by every ono, and we are all Vora sinners,
and the children of wrath, because roe have
all sinned in Adam.
Nor frilly, does that avail which,some have
imagined, to elude the force of this argument,
that all the Pre-Adamites perished in the
flond, that only the race of Adam survived,
and that, therefore, it might be truly said, all
wen are born tainted with original sin.
No, I say ; for first, our faith teaches that
the 'antediluvians were infected with this
original taint, even as-we also are. And we
must remember that a great pbjeet, of the
Pre Adamites is, to explain the existence of
antipodes, and of men of different colours,
to do which, they must bring down the Pre-
Adamite lineage to the postdiluvkan ages.
§ 117. To these arguments, driwn frOm
sacred writ, we add another" of - ne little
weight, from the - tradition which has always
prevailed, and still prevails, even among
heathen nations, of .one father of all, men.
By the testimony of Voltaire, (a man not, to
be discreditedwhen he says anything fa4or
able to religion,y to Vedor, in • the ritual of
the ancient Brahmins it is taught that the
first man was Ademus, and the , first woman
Proorita, which word, in their language,
signifies life, and life with the Reb_rews is
Bva.
Also, in the history of the island Of Cey
lon, mention is made of Adam, se_ the, first
man created by -God. And so, for the, most
part, in other lands, as Radius, with pro
digious learning, shows in. Densonetiat.
Eoan,gel. Thus would we overturn the
false doctrine of Feyreritts. -
§ 118 He brings an argument from
sacred history_ According to the Afosaic ac
count, he observes, herbs, treee,ankinimals
of every kind were created-14 God over "the
whole surface of the 'earth, which would
have been needless if 'there were no men in
existsnce but Adam: Moreover,in Genesis
iv : 2, Abel is called a keeper,of sheep, and
Cain a tiller of the ground; but Abel could
not protect the fink from 'thieves, if there
were no other men`; nor could Cain culti
vate the fields, unless he had ploughs and
other implements; to make which, artifices
would' be required.
Again : those Words of God to Cain, - in
Genesis iv : 7, are to be • noted, "If thou
doest,not well, sin lieth at, ;the -door," (in
foribus :) fares signifies courts of justice,
which in Eastern countries were erected at
the gates of 'cities. The - existence of courts
of justice implies the existence of many
men, as judges, and persons to he judged.
Furthermore, the, language of Cain to God,
supposes_the sarne,thing : "Every one that
findeth me shall slay met" to avert this
danger, "The Lord set a Mark ujionf , Cain,
list any finding him" should' kill-him."
All these' things; sips Peyrerius, plainly
show that the Rastern quarter of the world,
was even then ,densely inhabited by men,
who could not 'all have descended from
Adam.
§ 119. Bat these arguments are without
weight; and if' indeed the first_ were, valid,
it would follow that the whole ,world had
been filled with men from
,the beginning,
which the Pre.A.deinites 'themselves Weuld
not admit. As, therefore, there are even
DOW some regions covered with herbs, plants
and animals, in which, nevertheless, no { men
are found, so nothinglinders but that plants
and aninialima,y havenxiste'd froui the begin
ning, when there were but two of the family
of man. `2l
§ 120. And when Abel is spoken of as
•
a keeper of sheep, that care over his flocks
is referred to, Which itis the custom to employ
in feeding them, even though there Should
be no danger from 'robbers, or beasts of prey.
In, like manner, when Cain , h is ,called a
tiller of the ground,,it is not_,, implied that
he possessed that whole equiPment of im
plements of husbandry, which were 'after
wards contrived by. men,..but only such as
their
limited
in those primitive times
suggested:
§ 121 As to the argument from the
word foribus, translated door. This word
does not signify the courts of justice' placed
at the gate of ,the city" but rather that re
morse of ''conscience with which Cain was
tormented after the murder of his brother,
and with which all the Wicked are torment
ed, who "Night and: day carry in their,; bo
soms their own comer.
§ 122. The last 'difficulty is 'solved by
observing that Cain might have feared his
brothers and their descendants, who ,even
then began to be greatly 'multiplied. - For,
the murder of Abel is believed - to have - oc
curred in the ,one hundreth, and thirtieth
year of Adam,-as the Scriptures
.not ob.
sourely, indicate in the fourth chapter' of .
Genesis, when it said, that Abel havingbeen
killed, Adam knew his wife, and- she,
brought forth petit; iii the 'place of Mur
dered Abel, and inuluiptsr v 5.3, it hi said,-
"Adate, lived 130 years, and hegat son, -
and called his name Seth."' But in thei
space of 130: years,• men might have <in-.
creased to-many thousands, for in,the lapse.
of 215, years, , which the . sons of'
Israel remained in Egypt, they in
creased to more than'oo,ooo souls Cain
might`therefore have feared his brothers and
their, descendants.'
And hence.tilso, we may understand how
it might be said in thesaine fourth chapter,-.
that Cain had built a City, Which he called
by the nine of his s son""Reigich. Slime,
chronologists think this-oedurred in tlie- - Ave_
hundredth year of the world. ,---
§ 123„ That, seems, at first blush, to re
quire a more careful explanation, which V:by -
rerius objects froth Rem. v : 13, where
Paul • says, "For until the law,An wan
in the world : but sin is not-imputed,where
there is no law. Nevertheleas, death
reigned from Adam to 'Noses, even over
them' that had not sinned ' after the skein
tnde of Adam's transgression; { who -is the
figure of , him that was to come.", ,From
this he argues.: !This law, of which the- Apos
tle speaks can be no other than the, law
given to Adam ; but before the giving of
this law, it is said there was sin in the'world:
therefore, there were men who Were sinners
before Adam. - • ,
§ 124. Bat that As false which Feyrerins
So confidently, assnmee, viz :. that, the
Apostle 'speaks of the' law given to Adam.

ly refers to the law of Moses, which might
be shown from many parallel passages. The
meaning, therefore; of these' words 'of' Paul
is, that Fin had always reigned from Adam
to Moses, although some actual sins before
the law of Moses, were • not imputed, by
reason of the want of a perfect knowledge
of the law of Nature. Renee, the same
Apostle, chap vii 7, says : " I had not
known sin but by the law, for I had not
known lust, except the law had said, thou
shalt not covet." -' That which followsy" But
death reigned from Adam, to Moses '
"
fiefs that spiritual death and eternal damna
tion had reigned over men even - Were Moses.
Andlastly, *hen the Apostle adds; "
,Even
over those who had 'not . sinned according to
the similitude of- Adam's transgression,' 'he
manifestly means that original sin' brings
death even upon those who have not, after
the similitude of Adam's transgreasim 'been
guilty of actual sin. • I;
S. Thornes, Estius, and other interpreters,
offer various explanations of this - ,diffieult
passage.
§ 125 After these arguments drawn
from holy writ, Pe - pit:Ana proceeds , thus to
argue from profane history. It is evident,
says he, from the chronology of: many. ia. dons, that the world• is much: more' ancient
than Adam., The Chaldeans number four
hundred: and seventy `ttionsand years, and
thellabylorrians, the Chinese i
the Seythiens,
and the Americans, boast of a much longer
period of existence, , •
It would not be worth while' to spend r time
in yeftiting these fahnlatistaterneds; which,
bYr the philosophers - of LthOse' Very - nations,
are_ treated• with 'ridiculef,:_and contempt,
Cicero, Lib. I, de Senectu,te, speaking .of the
Chaldeane, says,f , Let us pronounce guilty
of folly,vanity, or ignoranoe,,,those who com
prise in theirchronieles four - hundred and
seventithousand years." The same might
be said with equal justice of. other, nations.
-- Fide S. Augusti4e, 18, Be at.
Dei. Many however. sapprise, that with
these nations, yrears did net consist oflivelie
months each, - but - of fewer, nay, perhaps,
not even of so many days.
But it is trifling to pursue thispatter fur

learned, that no authentic decurrients ex.*,
which not of later date than the epoch
which are not of later atm, epos.
of Motses; ,for thief yrillue, Alex ,in his
*esti:rook against Nian,proves the truth of
Mosaic history. '
§ 126. "The AntiPodes afford another
foundation for the argument of the Pre-
Adamites, 23 it cannot. be explained - how
men could migrate to, their region : of the
earth,, before the dieceveri'of the magnetic
needle: Henee; many orthe Fathers, - as
S. Augustine, Lib. 16, 'De Civital
cap. 9, deny, that there are Antipedes.
Nay, Zacharias R. ,P., in Epietle 10th to
Bonifaee, calls that a perverse and wicked-
doctrine, which asserted 4g there - are'
another world, and other . men; under the
earth" _ .
Nevertheless, although we do, not Inniv
the way by which men could pass teparts'
of the earth opposite to us, we may not infer
that the Antipodes were not the deseetid- - ,
cuts of Adam, since undeniable 'arguments
prove that they were, An almost infinite ,
number of things are held to he true, the
reason nfaiiner,ef cora.-
prebend, That wide:his certain and known,'
is not to be subverted by that which is un-'
certain and unknown: '% If some the
Fathers.have been deceived-in this matter,
their error is venial, and is common toLthem'
with many profane anthers,. ' -
§' 121 . . Tbe‘last argument of Pererins,-
to refute the doctrine that allmp proceed
from Adam,,as their progenitor; is founded
on the diversity which is found to _ exist
among nations, with reference 'especially to
the Ethiopians antfother nations of Africa,'
who are black, have flat - noses; and 'a kind
of wool in place of hair; ik'is`.boastfully
demanded was. Adam a white man or a
black man ? If white, whence are -the
blacks ? if black whence are the Whites?
'Then, he adds, there'have been "giants ort
the earth; tis we- all knotr; the Scriptures
frequently speak of them; and travelers tee.:
tify that they; are'yet found, and that onthe
other hand there are other nations of very
small stature, whom they Call pigmies.'
These could not both have had their origin
in' Adam. ' • ' •
Again, a still greater difference among
nations may be observed as to acuteness of
intellect, ,moral. disposition,
and mapper of
life, as in, the Hottentots,,,the leipones,..the
Canadians, irk* ittipidity is inch that
they might properly be classed with 'bidees
rather than with men.
, Lastly, he.says, there are various kinds of
monsters, as those mentioned by, Augustine,,
'l6, De Civitag, Ilea. 04. - 8, *en'
having one eye in the middle of the - li;re.
head, or haying the feet turned backward;
or in whom, having no necks, their eyes are
set
,in the shoulders, or whose heads. are
'shaped like the head of the dog, and ;#lll3
are thence called Oynoceplkali.
These,' netertheless, and other
things which infidels are accustomed ,to en
large upon, are,not snob forcegut.to:over.,
turn the authority of Scripture.. As. to
the color of the Ethiopians, that "may arise,
from a rariety of causes, especially'from the
intense heat of their climate, from' ekhala.
Hone arising from the =surface , of, the. earth,
or from, effluvia proceeding from ' mines of
gold; silver, iron, and sulphur. By these
agencies, it is belieyed, has been brought
about e. gradeal change of color ;in the in
hatitante of that region," first broWn or
tawny, : then to blackish, and : afterward to
black. This appears from manytestimonies.
According to Pliny, 'the further we recede
from the - centre of Ethiopia,' the lighter is
the color' Of - the inhabit4nts. The Lisitani
who emigrated thither, after many years,
were tinged with the same color.
Lastly, that all theie nations have -de
scended from one,
,and the same stock, is,
shown by, the„ sameness of their essential,
chiripteristiei ;I:there is no total difference
eicept in iertain'accidents of their nature,
namnly, in the color, 'the hair, and the
features of the Ace.
129. That which is addekconeerning
giants and pigmies, admits an, easy solution,
for the human frame is not bound to any
determinate size, and so we daily 'see
amongst ourselves some so tall that-if they
do not quite reach the stature of- giants„,
tilky„nearly , : approach ~it; and . this .might
more readily have happened in past ages,
when, as the learned - Wins, the stature cif man.
was~ greater than no*: The like argument
would be applicable'. to. pigmies. ,11Vhether
