Glossary
Terms as the text uses them, with plain-language explanation and, where needed, a note on modern context. Source terms are preserved for accurate study, not endorsed as descriptions of present-day people.
- AndoniteBook terminology
Any descendant of Andon and Fonta. In the text this is the oldest human stock, later present in some degree in nearly every population.
- BadoniteBook terminology
An Andonite branch settled in the north-west Indian highlands. The Sangik family is said to arise within this branch — so Badonites are a subset of Andonites, not a separate origin.
- SangikBook terminology
The family in which the text places the birth of six simultaneous lineages, each labelled by a colour. Sangik peoples are therefore later than, and descended from, Andonite stock.
Context note. Paper 64 assigns qualities and rankings to these groups. Those judgements are the text's own and are not reproduced here as visual hierarchy, and the terms are not applied to any present-day people.
- NoditeBook terminology
Descendants of the Planetary Prince's defecting staff and their offspring, centred on Mesopotamia; one of the three components of the later Andites.
- AdamiteBook terminology
Descendants of Adam and Eve in the second garden, also called the violet race by the text.
- AnditeBook terminology
A blend of Adamite, Nodite and superior evolutionary stock. Andite, not Adamite, is the people the text credits with the migrations described in Papers 79 and 80.
Sources:- NordicBook terminology
Used in Papers 79–80 as a label for certain northern European populations of mixed Andonite, blue Sangik and Andite descent.
Context note. The word acquired racial-political meanings in the twentieth century that the 1955 text does not define and this atlas does not endorse.
- “Semitic”Book terminology
In Papers 78–80 this label covers several distinct Mesopotamian and Arabian populations at different periods, and does not correspond to modern linguistic or ethnic usage.
Context note. Read the term as a period-specific label internal to the text, never as a description of any living community.
- Colour terminology
The book names six evolutionary lineages with colour words. This atlas keeps them in quotation marks, marks them as book terminology, and never renders them as skin-tone swatches or as a ranking.
Context note. These categories are archaic and, in places, offensive. They are preserved only so that readers can trace the text accurately.
- Confidence: stated / approximate / editorial
“Stated” means the text gives the date, place or relationship directly. “Approximate” means the text bounds it loosely (“about”, “nearly”, “for over”). “Editorial reconstruction” means this atlas positioned it for legibility and the text does not specify it.
Editorial note — no direct source claim.
- Years ago
Deep-time dates are given as years before 1950 CE. Where the text counts from its own composition (“before 1934”), the original wording is kept in the event's date display.
