The First Root-Race was produced by the Barhishad Pitris, who projected their ethereal doubles, which became the vehicles for the human Monads:

The Dhyanis (Pitris) are those who have evolved their Bhuta (doubles) from themselves, which Rupa (form) has become the vehicle of monads (seventh and sixth principles) that had completed their cycle of transmigration in the three preceding Kalpas (Rounds). Then, they (the astral doubles) became the men of the first Human Race of the Round. But they were not complete, and were senseless.[1]

Thus, the first Race of humans was ethereal, not physical.

The Pitris projected their double on seven different parts of the first continent, where seven different groups of humans with different classes of Monads:

13. They (the Moon-gods) went, each on his allotted land: seven of them, each on his lot.
The Secret teachings show the divine Progenitors creating men on seven portions of the globe “each on his lot”—i.e., each a different race of men externally and internally, and on different zones.[2]
