Description
For a description of my character, and that of my comrades in the dream you may want to go to the end of the book to review: the 'Profile of Characters' and look at some of the pictures I have provided, but for this part of the book, let me be descriptively speaking, on my looks--: my upper jaw extended out, but not too far out. I didn't walk quite upright resembling modern man, or as one might say, the more highly specialized primates; but then I didn't drag my hands akin to the Branch-People [the folks that lived in the Trees, who were really a mixture of primates--I think; some slow-moving, others very quiet and some fast-moving, most were plant life eaters]; we were beyond that stage. My forelimbs, maintained an adaptation for climbing, yet we frowned on it, we'd rather run the solid ground than jump from limb to limb. And we had advanced from sleeping on cliffs, and in trees [or I should say most of us had], to sleeping in caves.
My weight was about 160-pounds, probably I was a breed between a few different species, as I implied before, like the Branch-People, or people that lived in the trees, we had what was called subfamilies [I sensed in my dream we had mated with the Branch-People, and possibly with the People of the Fire; that is, during the first part of my dream; as the dream went on many things were clarified]; as I am describing, please do not infer that I am trying to say: I believed I came from a long line of reincarnations, for that is far from the truth of the dream [again I repeat, I may have been mixture of many groups, like a bowl of vegetable soup one might add]. If anything is to be inferred, it might be that the God of Eve saw pity on the Horde and gave it a cranial uplift; meaning, a bigger brain, or greater capacity to reason. But I am getting off track, let me refocus. As I was about to add, I was not, I say not robust, in body structure, and not as hairy as the Branch-People [thank goodness], nor did I have their dark completion. Plus I could make odd looking tools out of chipped stone, and bone for the most part; where they couldn't [the Branch-People that is]. Furthermore, I did not have heavy brawn bridges akin to the Branch-People; rather I looked more reminiscent of a specimen from the succeeding stage of human evolution, again possibly Homo habilis, or the next stage. In any event, I ran around naked, with no smugness about doing so, nor did my Horde feel any different in their nakedness. I never knew what cloths was until I had seen the 'People of the Fire,' wearing them, and the new breed, whom was to appear on the horizon
