[[Urantia]] was registered as an [[inhabited world]] when the first two [[human being]]s—the twins—were eleven years old, and before they had become the [[parents]] of the first-born of the second [[generation]] of [[actual]] [[human]] [[beings]]. And the [[archangel]] [[message]] from [[Salvington]], on this occasion of [[formal]] [[planetary]] [[recognition]], closed with these [[words]]:
"[[Man]]-[[mind]] has appeared on 606 of [[Satania]], and these [[parents]] of the new [[race]] shall be called ''Andon'' and ''Fonta''. And all [[archangels]] pray that these [[creatures]] may speedily be [[endowed]] with the [[personal]] indwelling of the gift of [[Thought Adjuster|the spirit]] of the [[Universal Father]]."
Andon is the [[Nebadon]] name which [[signifies]] "the first Fatherlike [[creature]] to [[exhibit]] [[human]] [[perfection]] [[hunger]]. "Fonta signifies "the first Sonlike [[creature]] to [[exhibit]] [[human]] [[perfection]] [[hunger]]." Andon and Fonta never knew these [[names]] until they were [[bestowed]] upon them at the time of [[fusion]] with their [[Thought Adjusters]]. Throughout their [[mortal]] [[sojourn]] on [[Urantia]] they called each other Sonta-an and Sonta-en, Sonta-an [[meaning]] "loved by [[mother]]," Sonta-en signifying "loved by [[father]]. " They gave themselves these [[names]], and the [[meanings]] are significant of their [[mutual]] regard and [[affection]].

In many respects, ''Andon'' and ''Fonta'' were the most remarkable pair of [[human being]]s that have ever lived on the [[face]] of the [[earth]]. This [[wonderful]] pair, the [[actual]] [[parents]] of all [[mankind]], were in every way superior to many of their [[immediate]] [[descendants]], and they were [[radically]] different from all of their [[ancestors]], both immediate and remote.
The [[parents]] of this first human couple were apparently little [[different]] from the [[average]] of their [[tribe]], though they were among its more [[intelligent]] members, that [[group]] which first learned to throw stones and to use clubs in fighting. They also made use of sharp [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spicules spicules] of stone, flint, and bone.
While still living with his [[parents]], ''Andon'' had fastened a sharp piece of flint on the end of a club, using animal tendons for this [[purpose]], and on no less than a dozen occasions he made [[good]] use of such a weapon in saving both his own life and that of his [[equally]] [[adventurous]] and [[inquisitive]] sister, who unfailingly accompanied him on all of his tours of [[exploration]].
The [[decision]] of ''Andon'' and ''Fonta'' to flee from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primates Primates] [[tribes]] implies a [[quality]] of [[mind]] far above the baser [[intelligence]] which characterized so many of their later descendants who stooped to [[mate]] with their retarded cousins of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simian simian] tribes. But their vague [[feeling]] of being something more than mere [[animals]] was due to the [[possession]] of [[personality]] and was augmented by the indwelling [[presence]] of the [[Thought Adjusters]].[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Andon_and_Fonta]
