Archaeology and paleontology has uncovered the existence of hominids which are not quite homo sapiens in ancient times many thousands of years before recorded history but in recorded history we have writings about such beings living alongside humans. One such being is recorded in the written accounts of the Epic of Gilgamesh dating from 2300 BC onwards and he is key to the events in this account. The hero Gilgamesh encountered and befriended a hominid named Enkidu who was not related to any human but was known to be a separetely created humanoid person created the same way as Adam (Adapa or Alilum as the people then knew him) out of the dust of the ground by gods. So this hominid as we might call him was living alongside humans after the flood and was known by name and part of the main history of that time and the following thousand years. Other known, named hominds are more mysterious still and evidenced both in written history and in prehistory. In written history they are distinct from what are biologically known as homo sapiens and are called in various cultures gods or angels in English or Anunna or Anunnaki in the language of those ancient times. In prehistory they appear in archaeology as humanoid figurines and also as what some call reptillians - humanoid figurines with features slightly reminscent of reptiles, especially their eyes. One being who is more mysterious still is a human being called the Son of Man who Enoch wrote about at length who did not live on earth but away in the dwelling place of the Most High God. This term Son of Man is thought to really mean human being. So there was a human being who was not related to other human beings in the time of Enoch but was a hominid uniquely produced by the Most High God before the world began and lived throughout the ages. Later the prophet Daniel wrote of the same person and later again the wondrous Jesus (Yeshu) of Nazareth identified Himself as the Son of Man and taught “Before Abraham was born, I am”. All very wonderful and mysterious.
