Subject: (urth) 5HC Gondwanaland

As Jack Vance is and was a major unfluence on GW, the
idea in 5HC of prehistoric human migrations from Earth
to other worlds may have been picked up, in part, from
certain Vance novels of the Sixties: THE STAR KING,
SPACE OPERA, and the Tschai series. However
implausible the concept, Vance used it repeatedly.
