At one time, what had developed out of the fish was called the Water-man, because it lived in the water and contained the germ of the later man. A still higher form that developed could be called the Goat. The singular thing is that what corresponded to man in his lower members actually gave the name to the then prevailing constellation. The feet are actually the original Fish; the calves or shanks are the Water-man, which for a long time enabled man to steer while swimming; the knee we find to be related to the sign of the Goat. The animal kingdom evolved more and more, and what became the thigh was designated as the Archer. It would lead too far if I attempted to explain this expression, but we shall try to give a picture of how man looked when the animal kingdom corresponded to the Archer.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Seventh Lecture","site_heading":"Cosmic Evolution of Human Form Through Osiris-Isis","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Eine noch weitere Gestaltung, die sich herausbildete, war das, was man nennen konnte den Steinbock. Nun ist das Eigentümliche, daß in der Tat das, was dem Menschen in seinen unteren Gliedern entspricht, wirklich dem jeweiligen Sternbild den Namen gab. Die Füße sind tatsächlich die ursprünglichen Fische; die Unterschenkel der Wassermann, das, was eine lange Zeit den Menschen befähigte, sich eine Richtung zu geben beim Schwimmen; die Knie des Menschen finden wir im Zusammenhang mit dem Zeichen des Steinbocks.
