He maintains that in the Mosaic narrative [underlined], contrary to the usual intrepretation, there are clear indications of the existence of pre-Adamite races. This theory undoubtedly explains one pasage in Genesis which seems otherwise wholly unintelligible, namely, that in which mention is made of unions between the "Sons of God" and the daughters of men. Our author affirms that for the "Sons of God" we ought to substitute as the true meaning in the original "The Servants of the gods" or in other words the idolotrous races of the world. In like manner the daughters [underlined] of men should be translated "the daughters of the preAdamite [?]"
