root race
Root races are stages in human evolution in the esoteric cosmology of theosophist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, as described in her book ''The Secret Doctrine'' (1888). These races existed mainly on now-lost continents. Blavatsky's model was developed by later theosophists, most notably William Scott-Elliot in ''The Story of Atlantis'' (1896) and ''The Lost Lemuria'' (1904). Annie Besant further developed the model in ''Man: Whence, How and Whither'' (1913). Both Besant and Scott-Elliot relied on information from Charles Webster Leadbeater obtained by "astral clairvoyance". Further elaboration was provided by Rudolf Steiner in ''Atlantis and Lemuria'' (1904).〔''Atlantis and Lemuria, The Submerged Continents of Atlantis and Lemuria, Cosmic Memory (Prehistory of Earth and Man), Aus der Akasha-Chronik.'' Rudolf Steiner (Written 1904; GA 11 / Bn 11)() English Edition, trans. Max Gysi ()〕 Rudolf Steiner, and subsequent theosophist authors, have called the time periods associated with these races, Epochs (Steiner felt that the term "race" was not adequate anymore for modern humanity).

According to historian James Webb, the occult concept of succeeding prehistoric races, as later adopted by Blavatsky, was first introduced by the French author Antoine Fabre d'Olivet in his ''Histoire philosophique du genre humain'' (1824).〔James Webb, ''The Occult Underground'', Open Court, La Salle 1974, p. 270〕 By contrast, historian Goffe Jensma claims that the concept of root races was first articulated in the Dutch esotericist book Oera Linda, which was translated into English by William Sandbach in 1876.〔Jensma, Goffe (November 2007), "How to Deal with Holy Books in an Age of Emerging Science. The Oera Linda Book as a New Age Bible", Fabula 48 (3–4): 229–249〕 Also prior to Blavatsky, the root races were described by the English theosophist Alfred Percy Sinnett in ''Esoteric Buddhism'' (1883).
