atlantis and lemuria

Atlantis. we've all heard about, but did you know that there was another civilization called: Lemuria. It was first proposed by an English zoologist: Philip L. Schlater. He was trying to figure out how the same form of lemur could be found in Madagascar, Africa, India and Indonesia. Lemurs can't fly or swim; they have to walk across land. So Schlater suggested that all of these areas were once connected by a vast continent, for which he proposed the name of Lemuria. A German naturalist, Ernst Heinrich Haeckel, proposed that Lemuria was the "cradle of the human race".
