The later plant-forms now gradually developing were rooted in substance that was still very soft. Out of the earlier reptilian and lizard-like creatures, animals with a more complicated structure developed, the impressions of which modern geology can still discover. Nothing at all of the earliest animal creatures of which I have spoken can be found. It was not until the later epoch, when—for a second time as it were—man cast out more complicated structures, that the conditions I have been describing were present: cloud-masses continually forming and dissolving, viridescence (greening) appearing and then fading away, soft animal-like structures which, however, were real animals; at times they contracted and had a life of their own, and soon again lost identity in the general life of the Earth. All these developments resulted in greater solidification.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Natürlich, als dann die Erze da waren, abgesondert in der Erde, da verwandelte sich auch die ganze Atmosphäre. Sie wurde eine andere, sie wurde weit weniger schwefelhaltig. Der Sauerstoff bekam allmählich die Oberhand über den Schwefel, während in den alten Zeiten der Schwefel eine schr starke Bedeutung hatte für die Erden-Atmosphäre. Die ganze Erden-Atmosphäre wurde anders. In dieser erneuerten Umgebung konnte der Mensch anderes wiederum aus sich heraussetzen, anderes absondern. Was er jetzt absonderte, erscheint wie die Nachkommen der früheren Pflanzen und der früheen Tiere. Jetzt allmählich bildeten sich die späteren Pflanzenformen aus, die eine Art Wurzel faßten, aber in noch durchaus weicher Erdensubstanz. Und es bildeten sich heraus aus dem, was Reptilien, eidechsenähnliche Tiere waren, kompliziertere Tiere, solche Tiere, welche die heutige Geologie in Abdrücken und dergleichen noch findet. Von dem Allerältesten, von dem ich hier gesprochen habe, wird ja nichts mehr gefunden. Erst das, was dann in der späteren Epoche entstand, in der der Mensch - sozusagen ein zweites Mal - kompliziertere Gebilde aus sich heraussetzte, erst da war das, was ich Ihnen hier beschrieben habe, was, ich möchte sagen immerfort entstehende und vergehende Wolkengebilde waren, Ergrünendes, Vergrünendes, weichmassige tierähnliche Gestalten, die aber wirkliche Tiere waren, die bald sich zusammenzogen und ein Eigenleben hatten, bald wiederum sich verloren in einem allgemeinen Erdenleben, denn das war bei all diesen Wesenheiten der Fall. Aus all dem entstand etwas, was mehr in sich gefestigt war.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":245,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/232/1923-12-01/p027"}],"english":["GA 232/1923-12-01/p027","GA 232/1923-12-01/p028"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":245,"en_words":217,"ratio":0.89,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.89,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4960,"original_word_count":5577,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"E.
