Paradise Found: The Cradle of the Human Race at the North Pole advances a comprehensive and interdisciplinary argument that the earliest traditions of humanity, preserved in ancient cosmologies, mythologies, and religious texts, point to a primordial homeland located in the polar regions. Drawing on geology, astronomy, paleontology, comparative mythology, philology, and historical theology, William F. Warren systematically reexamines the problem of Eden’s location and contends that only a polar setting can coherently account for recurring motifs such as a central world-mountain, a circumpolar paradise, a prolonged day and night, and a single source from which the world’s rivers and peoples disperse. The work situates these themes within both scientific theory and global ethnic tradition, proposing a unified framework for understanding prehistoric human origins and the development of early cosmological thought, while positioning itself as a foundational contribution to the study of ancient cosmology and mythical geography.
