Human race

Different and rather inconsistent traditions touch on the origin of the human race.

According to the analysis by Dyer and Danforth of murals found in the Antarctic, the crinoid Old Ones of Antarctica created earth-life for food and other purposes. They allowed various cell-groups to develop into other forms of animal and vegetable life, exterminating any that became troublesome [HPL Mountains (online text) 62, 65]. They used a primitive simian ancestor of humanity for food and amusement [65]. The inference seems to be that the simian forebear of humanity was created by the crinoid Old Ones.

The Old Ones of K'n-yan appeared to be human, and might share a common origin with humanity. According to the legends of the Old Ones, Tulu (Cthulhu) brought them to earth from a distant part of space where conditions were much like earth. The Old Ones were the original stock who peopled the earth as soon as its crust was fit to walk on. However, after a massive sinking of continents beneath the ocean, a million or two years ago, the Old Ones withdrew underground and thereafter evolved separately from humanity [Mound (online text) 129, 131, 133]. This account differs greatly from the Dyer/Danforth theory, but is not necessarily more reliable, since the Old Ones harbored doubts about the accuracy of their own ancient traditions.

Zadok Allen said that humans are related to the Deep Ones: "Seems that human folks has got a kind o' relation to such water-beasts—that everything alive came aout o' the water onct, an' only needs a little change to go back again" [Innsmouth (online text) 331]. Interpreted broadly, this could be merely a restatement of the modern scientific view that the earliest life forms evolved underwater. On the other hand, the implication might be that human beings are descended directly, and relatively recently, from the Deep Ones, and perhaps diverged as a result of adapting to land life. At any rate, it is extraordinarily odd that humans and Deep Ones can mate together and bear offspring, as this is not possible between humans and related species such as apes, for example.

Certain forgotten authorities claim that humanity is descended from colonists from the lost planet Antanôk [CAS Pnom].

From his research into primal myths, Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee concluded that other intelligent races had inhabited earth before the first amphibian forbear of man crawled out of the sea 300 million years ago [HPL Time (online text) 385].

During his sojourn as a captive mind among the Great Race, Peaslee heard hints of the fate of mankind that were too disturbing to put into writing [Time (online text) 396].

According to Reverend Nye, humanity was created to worship and obey the Great Old Ones. According to the being that possessed Orin Sanderson, humanity was bred for fear, because the Great Old Ones feed on human emotion. [RB Strange]

After imbibing a drug to access his ancestral memories, Mike Hayword wrote that the first human race dwelt in primal Mu, worshiping strange, forgotten gods—"Cthulhu of the Watery Abyss, the Serpent Yig, Iod the Shining Hunter, Vorvadoss of the Gray Gulf of Yarnak." [HK Invaders (online text)]

A star cluster whose brightest stars, along with the unrelated star Aldebaran, form a V shape that is interpreted as the face of the bull in the constellation Taurus. The cluster is about 153 light years from Earth. It is named after a sisterhood of nymphs from Greek mythology whose tears of sadness form rain. [Hyades (star cluster) and Hyades (mythology), both on Wikipedia]

Hzioulquoigmnzhah

On Cykranosh (Saturn), a paternal uncle of Tsathoggua. CAS Door (online text) 26-28, 30-32, 38-39.

A rather reflective and philosophic deity. Hzioulquoigmnzhah is a male offspring whom Cxaxukluth spawned in a far star system and then brought to Yuggoth. Hzioulquoigmnzhah emigrated to Yaksh (Neptune) at an early age to escape Cxaxukluth's cannibalistic tendencies. Wearying of the peculiar worship rendered by the Yakshians, Hzioulquoigmnzhah emigrated again, this time to Cykranosh (Saturn). He was long worshipped by the quaint peoples of Cykranosh but grew tired of them and had retired from active life by the time of his encounter with the wizard Eibon. He lives in a column cavern where he quenches his thirst at a lake of liquid metal. He has no spouse or offspring. [CAS Pnom]

Also spelled: Hziulquoigmnzhah, Hziulquogmnzhah.
