We shall not at present consider the few who went westward, whose descendants were found in America by its discoverers. When the Atlantean catastrophe took place, the body of people which then migrated towards the East did not consist merely of the four castes which settled down in India and there gradually differentiated themselves, but there were seven castes, and the four which appeared in India were the four higher castes. Besides the fifth, which was completely despised and which in India formed, as it were, an intermediate body of the population, besides these Pariahs there were other castes which did not accompany them as far as India, but remained behind in various parts of Europe, Asia Minor and especially Africa. Only the more highly developed castes reached India, and those who remained in Europe had entirely different qualities.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Moral Impulses: From Atlantean Fall to Francis of Assisi","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.

Es wanderten nicht nur die vier Kasten aus, die allmählich in Indien sich differenzierten, sondern es waren sieben Kasten, welche von der alten Atlantis nach Osten wanderten, und die vier Kasten, welche sich in Indien geltend machten, das sind schon die vier höheren Kasten. Es gibt außer der fünften, die schon ganz verachtet war und die in Indien gleichsam eine Zwischensubstanz der Bevölkerung bildete, es gibt also außer diesen Parias noch andere Kasten, welche nur nicht mitzogen nach Indien, welche zurückblieben an den verschiedenen Stätten in Europa, Vorderasien und namentlich auch in Afrika. Es lag also die Sache so, daß nur die auserlesensten Kasten nach Indien hinüberzogen und in Europa zurückgeblieben waren diejenigen, welche ganz andere Eigenschaften hatten als die Menschen, welche bis nach Indien hingezogen waren.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":217,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/155/1912-05-29/p009"}],"english":["GA 155/1912-05-29/p009"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":217,"en_words":178,"ratio":0.82,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7065,"original_word_count":7143,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Henry Collison","identified_edition":"APC1928","book_title":"Anthroposophical Ethics","publisher":"Anthroposophical Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA155/English/APC1928/19120529p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
