[Avodah] Echoes of Eden-non human humanoids

[Gershon Dubin]

R' Micha quoted (on Areivim) the new book Echoes of Eden by Rabbi Ari
Kahn as saying that Adam Harishon co-existed with non-human humanoids

[My quote:
> Here's a quote that should get some conversation started (from pg 7):
>    Whlie the suggestion that there were other humanoids with whom Adam
>    felt no spiritual or existential kinship may seem antinomian, at
>    odds with mainstream rabbinic doctrine, we are taught that the Torah's
>    truth exists on many levels...

> He then cites maamarei chazal that can only be understood in these
> terms. And a footnote quotes sources -- paragraph sized Hebrew quotes --
> from the Ohr haChaim and Rashi about interpreting pesuqim differently
> than Chazal.

Rabbi Moshe Eisemann learns that this is the position of the Ramban.
