63:1.1 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.

63:1.2 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 [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spicules spicules] of stone, flint, and bone.

63:1.3 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]].

63:1.4 The [[decision]] of ''Andon'' and ''Fonta'' to flee from the [http://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 [http://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]].

==63:2. THE FLIGHT OF THE TWINS==     

==63:2. THE FLIGHT OF THE TWINS==     

63:2.1 After ''Andon and Fonta'' had [[decided]] to flee northward, they succumbed to their [[fears]] for a [[time]], especially the fear of displeasing their [[father]] and [[immediate]] [[family]]. They envisaged being set upon by hostile [[relatives]] and thus [[recognized]] the [[possibility]] of meeting [[death]] at the hands of their already [[jealous]] [[Tribe|tribesmen]]. As youngsters, the twins had spent most of their [[time]] in each other's company and for this [[reason]] had never been overly popular with their [[animal]] cousins of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primates Primates] tribe. Nor had they improved their [[standing]] in the tribe by building a separate, and a very superior, tree [[home]].

Nor had they improved their [[standing]] in the tribe by building a separate, and a very superior, tree [[home]].

63:2.2 And it was in this new [[home]] among the [[treetops]], one night after they had been awakened by a [[violent]] storm, and as they held each other in fearful and fond [[embrace]], that they finally and fully made up their [[minds]] to flee from the tribal [[habitat]] and the home treetops.

63:2.3 They had already [[prepared]] a crude [[treetop]] retreat some half-day's [[journey]] to the north. This was their [[secret]] and [[safe]] hiding place for the first day away from the home [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest forests]. Notwithstanding that the twins [[shared]] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primates Primates]' deathly [[fear]] of being on the ground at [[nighttime]], they sallied forth shortly before nightfall on their northern trek. While it required unusual [[courage]] for them to undertake this night [[journey]], even with a full [[moon]], they correctly concluded that they were less likely to be missed and pursued by their tribesmen and [[relatives]]. And they safely made their previously [[prepared]] [[rendezvous]] shortly after midnight.

63:2.4 On their northward [[journey]] they [[discovered]] an exposed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint flint] deposit and, finding many stones suitably shaped for various uses, gathered up a supply for the [[future]]. In attempting to chip these flints so that they would be better adapted for certain [[purposes]], Andon [[discovered]] their [[sparking]] [[quality]] and [[conceived]] the [[idea]] of building [[fire]]. But the notion did not take firm hold of him at the time as the [[climate]] was still salubrious and there was little need of fire.

63:2.5 But the [[autumn]] [[sun]] was getting lower in the [[sky]], and as they [[journeyed]] northward, the nights grew cooler and cooler. Already they had been forced to make use of [[animal]] skins for [[warmth]]. Before they had been away from [[home]] one moon, Andon signified to his [[mate]] that he thought he could make [[fire]] with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint flint]. They tried for two months to utilize the flint [[spark]] for kindling a [[fire]] but only met with failure. Each day this couple would strike the flints and endeavor to ignite the wood. Finally, one evening about the time of the setting of the [[sun]], the [[secret]] of the [[technique]] was unraveled when it occurred to Fonta to climb a near-by tree to secure an abandoned bird's nest. The nest was dry and highly inflammable and consequently flared right up into a full blaze the [[moment]] the [[spark]] fell upon it. They were so surprised and startled at their success that they almost lost the [[fire]], but they saved it by the addition of suitable fuel, and then began the first search for firewood by the [[parents]] of all mankind.

63:2.6 This was one of the most joyous [[moments]] in their short but [[eventful]] lives. All night long they sat up watching their fire burn, vaguely realizing that they had made a [[discovery]] which would make it possible for them to defy [[climate]] and thus forever to be [[independent]] of their [[animal]] [[relatives]] of the southern lands. After three days' [[rest]] and enjoyment of the fire, they [[journeyed]] on.

63:2.7 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primates Primates] [[ancestors]] of Andon had often replenished [[fire]] which had been kindled by lightning, but never before had the [[creatures]] of [[earth]] [[possessed]] a [[method]] of starting fire at [[Free will|will]]. But it was a long time before the twins learned that dry moss and other [[materials]] would kindle [[fire]] just as well as birds' nests.

==63:3. ANDON'S FAMILY==     

==63:3. ANDON'S FAMILY==     

63:3.1 It was almost two years from the night of the twins' departure from [[home]] before their first [[child]] was [[born]]. They [[named]] him ''Sontad''; and Sontad was the first [[creature]] to be born on [[Urantia]] who was wrapped in [[protective]] coverings at the time of [[birth]]. The [[human]] [[race]] had begun, and with this new [[evolution]] there appeared the [[instinct]] properly to care for the increasingly enfeebled infants which would characterize the [[progressive]] [[development]] of [[mind]] of the [[intellectual]] order as [[contrasted]] with the more [[purely]] [[animal]] type.

63:3.2 Andon and Fonta had nineteen [[children]] in all, and they lived to [[enjoy]] the [[association]] of almost half a hundred grandchildren and half a dozen great-grandchildren. The [[family]] was domiciled in four adjoining [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_shelters rock shelters], or semicaves, three of which were [[interconnected]] by hallways which had been excavated in the soft limestone with flint [[tools]] devised by Andon's [[children]].

63:3.3 These early ''Andonites'' [[Demonstration|evinced]] a very marked clannish spirit; they [[hunted]] in [[groups]] and never strayed very far from the [[homesite]]. They seemed to [[realize]] that they were an [[isolated]] and [[unique]] [[group]] of living [[beings]] and should therefore avoid becoming separated. This [[feeling]] of [[intimate]] kinship was undoubtedly due to the enhanced [[mind]] [[ministry]] of the [[adjutant spirits]].

63:3.4 ''Andon and Fonta'' [[labored]] incessantly for the [[nurture]] and uplift of the [[clan]]. They lived to the age of forty-two, when both were killed at the time of an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake earthquake] by the falling of an overhanging rock. Five of their [[children]] and eleven grandchildren perished with them, and almost a score of their descendants suffered serious injuries.

63:3.5 Upon the [[death]] of his [[parents]], ''Sontad'', despite a seriously injured foot, immediately [[assumed]] the [[leadership]] of the [[clan]] and was ably assisted by his [[wife]], his eldest [[sister]]. Their first task was to roll up stones to effectively entomb their dead [[parents]], brothers, [[Siblings|sisters]], and [[children]]. Undue significance should not attach to this [[act]] of [[burial]]. Their [[ideas]] of [[survival]] after [[death]] were very vague and indefinite, being largely derived from their [[fantastic]] and variegated [[dream]] life.

63:4.1 [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN Primitive man]—the ''Andonites''—had black eyes and a swarthy [[complexion]], something of a cross between yellow and red.

They were the first [[creatures]] to use the [[skin]]s of [[animals]] as a [[protection]] against cold; they had little more hair on their bodies than present-day humans.

63:4.2 The [[tribal]] life of the [[animal]] [[ancestors]] of these early men had [[foreshadowed]] the beginnings of numerous [[social]] [[conventions]], and with the expanding [[emotions]] and augmented [[brain]] [[powers]] of these [[beings]], there was an [[immediate]] [[development]] in social [[organization]] and a new division of clan [[labor]]. They were exceedingly [[imitative]], but the [[play]] [[instinct]] was only slightly [[developed]], and the sense of [[humor]] was almost entirely [[absent]]. [[Primitive]] man smiled occasionally, but he never indulged in hearty [[laughter]]. [[Humor]] was the [[legacy]] of the later [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:2._THE_ADAMITES_IN_THE_SECOND_GARDEN Adamic race]. These early [[human beings]] were not so [[sensitive]] to [[pain]] nor so [[reactive]] to unpleasant situations as were many of the later evolving [[mortals]]. [[Childbirth]] was not a painful or distressing ordeal to Fonta and her [[immediate]] [[progeny]].

==63:5. DISPERSION OF THE ANDONITES==   

63:5.1 The early Andon [[races]] did not penetrate very far into [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia Asia], and they did not at first enter [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa Africa]. The [[geography]] of those times pointed them north, and farther and farther north these people [[journeyed]] until they were hindered by the slowly advancing ice of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age#Major_ice_ages third glacier].

63:5.2 Before this extensive [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_sheets ice sheet] reached [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France France] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles British Isles], the descendants of Andon and Fonta had pushed on westward over [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe Europe] and had [[established]] more than one thousand separate settlements along the great [[rivers]] leading to the then warm [[waters]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea North Sea].

63:5.3 These Andonic [[tribes]] were the early [[river]] dwellers of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_France France]; they lived along the river [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somme_%28river%29 Somme] for tens of thousands of years. The Somme is the one [[river]] unchanged by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaciers glaciers], running down to the sea in those days much as it does today. And that explains why so much [[evidence]] of the Andonic descendants is found along the [[course]] of this [[river]] valley.

63:5.4 These [[aborigines]] of [[Urantia]] were not [[Arboreal|tree dwellers]], though in [[emergencies]] they still betook themselves to the treetops. They regularly dwelt under the [[shelter]] of overhanging [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff cliffs] along the [[rivers]] and in hillside grottoes which afforded a good view of the approaches and sheltered them from the elements. They could thus [[enjoy]] the [[comfort]] of their [[fires]] without being too much inconvenienced by the smoke. They were not really [[cave]] dwellers either, though in subsequent times the later [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_sheets ice sheets] came farther south and drove their descendants to the caves. They preferred to camp near the edge of a forest and beside a [[stream]].

63:5.5 They very early became remarkably [[clever]] in [[disguising]] their partially sheltered [[abodes]] and showed great [[skill]] in constructing stone sleeping chambers, dome-shaped stone huts, into which they crawled at [[night]]. The entrance to such a hut was closed by rolling a stone in front of it, a large stone which had been placed inside for this purpose before the roof stones were finally put in place.

63:5.6 The Andonites were [[Courage|fearless]] and successful [[hunters]] and, with the exception of wild berries and certain fruits of the trees, lived exclusively on [[Carnivorous|flesh]]. As Andon had [[invented]] the stone ax, so his descendants early [[discovered]] and made [[effective]] use of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throwing_stick throwing stick] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpoon harpoon]. At last a [[tool]]-[[creating]] [[mind]] was [[functioning]] in conjunction with an implement-using hand, and these early [[humans]] became highly skillful in the fashioning of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint flint] tools. They [[traveled]] far and wide in search of flint, much as present-day [[humans]] [[journey]] to the ends of the [[earth]] in quest of gold, platinum, and diamonds.

63:5.7 And in many other ways these Andon [[tribes]] manifested a [[degree]] of [[intelligence]] which their [[retrogressing]] descendants did not [[attain]] in half a million years, though they did again and again rediscover various [[methods]] of kindling [[fire]].

63:6.3 The Andonites early [[developed]] a [[fear]] of the [[Weather|elements]]—thunder, lightning, rain, snow, hail, and ice. But [[hunger]] was the constantly recurring urge of these early days, and since they largely subsisted on [[animals]], they eventually evolved a [[form]] of [[animal]] [[worship]]. To Andon, the larger [[food]] [[animals]] were [[symbols]] of [[creative]] might and sustaining [[power]]. From time to time it became the [[custom]] to designate various of these larger animals as objects of [[worship]]. During the vogue of a particular [[animal]], crude [[outlines]] of it would be drawn on the walls of the [[caves]], and later on, as continued [[progress]] was made in the [[arts]], such an animal [[god]] was engraved on various ornaments.

63:6.4 Very early the Andonic peoples formed the [[habit]] of refraining from eating the [[flesh]] of the [[animal]] of tribal [[veneration]]. Presently, in order more suitably to impress the [[minds]] of their [[youths]], they evolved a [[ceremony]] of [[reverence]] which was carried out about the [[body]] of one of these [[venerated]] [[animals]]; and still later on, this [[primitive]] [[performance]] [[developed]] into the more elaborate [[sacrificial]] [[ceremonies]] of their descendants. And this is the [[origin]] of [[sacrifices]] as a part of [[worship]]. This [[idea]] was elaborated by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] in the [[Hebrew]] [[ritual]] and was preserved, in principle, by the [[Apostle]] [[Paul, the Apostle|Paul]] as the [[doctrine]] of [[atonement]] for [[sin]] by "the shedding of blood."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_IX]

This [[idea]] was elaborated by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] in the [[Hebrew]] [[ritual]] and was preserved, in principle, by the [[Apostle]] [[Paul, the Apostle|Paul]] as the [[doctrine]] of [[atonement]] for [[sin]] by "the shedding of blood."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_IX]

From Oban he sent out [[teachers]] to the remote settlements to spread his new [[doctrines]] of one [[Deity]] and his [[concept]] of the [[hereafter]], which he called the ''Great Beyond''. These emissaries of Onagar were the world's first missionaries; they were also the first [[human beings]] to cook meat, the first regularly to use [[fire]] in the [[preparation]] of [[food]]. They cooked flesh on the ends of sticks and also on hot stones; later on they roasted large pieces in the [[fire]], but their descendants almost entirely reverted to the use of raw flesh.
