The idea that there may be humanoid creatures existing in some
unknown locations beneath the surface of the earth is so fantastic
that it seems absurd. How could that possibly be? After all, the
ground is pretty much solid mass and what we know of it gives us no
reason to suppose that any such thing is remotely possible. When
this notion occurred to me many years ago, this was my rational
reaction. The old science fiction image of an earth that would
allow journeys deep into its centre is patently impossible in light
of contemporary scientific understanding. I gave it no further
thought. Over the intervening years, with the revolution that has
taken place in the understanding of earth's structure, with the
discovery of new and even more unusual forms of life, and startling
new archaeological, oceanographic and geological discoveries, it
seemed that stranger things have been found. Perhaps the idea
seemed so fantastic because earlier scientific models of the
earth's history and structure were much cruder and simpler. Perhaps
the underground is far more varied and complex than once thought.
Perhaps the idea was not so absurd after all.
