According to Jainism , times on the earth is divided into two parts: "times of
pleasures" followed by "times of actions". During "times of pleasures", nobody has to do any work to survive. Environment was very pleasant, filled with abundance of gold , music , fruits , vegetables and light. All animals and humans are vegetarian.
Resources where plentiful.
During "times of action" , people have to work together to extract resources from Earth and survive.
Thus , current human civilization have evolved from the ancient human tribes. These tribes lived in extremely pleasant environment were they had noting to do but enjoy life.
Jain Myths are not scientific evidence. All religions teach that Humans are now degraded from what they once were:
-Christian, Men walk with God in perfection in the Garden of Eden
-Hinduism, Humans lived once in an age (satya yuga) when humans lived in truth and were pure.
-Jains, We lived in a time of pleasure.
-Pygmies, humans were vegetarians and immortal.
These teachings are not historical in nature. These Myths are to show our true nature not to understand our history.
