49:2.12 3. ''The gravity types''. By [[modification]] of [[creative]] [[design]], [[intelligent]] [[beings]] are so constructed that they can freely [[function]] on [[spheres]] both smaller and larger than [[Urantia]], thus being, in [[measure]], [[accommodated]] to the [[gravity]] of those [[planets]] which are not of [[ideal]] size and [[density]].

49:2.13 The various [[planetary]] [[types]] of [[mortals]] vary in height, the [[average]] in [[Nebadon]] being a trifle under seven feet. Some of the larger worlds are peopled with [[beings]] who are only about two and one-half feet in height. [[Mortal]] [[stature]] ranges from here on up through the [[average]] heights on the average-sized [[planets]] to around ten feet on the smaller inhabited [[spheres]]. In [[Satania]] there is only one [[race]] under four feet in height. Twenty per cent of the [[Satania]] inhabited worlds are peopled with [[mortals]] of the [[modified]] [[gravity]] types occupying the larger and the smaller [[planets]].

49:2.14 4. ''The temperature types''. It is [[possible]] to [[create]] living [[beings]] who can withstand [[temperatures]] both much higher and much lower than the life range of the [[Urantia]] [[races]]. There are five distinct orders of [[beings]] as they are [[classified]] with [[reference]] to [[heat]]-regulating [[mechanisms]]. In this [[scale]] the [[Urantia]] [[races]] are number [[three]]. Thirty per cent of [[Satania]] worlds are peopled with [[races]] of [[modified]] ''temperature types''. Twelve per cent belong to the higher temperature ranges, eighteen per cent to the lower, as [[compared]] with [[Urantia]]ns, who [[function]] in the mid-temperature [[group]].

49:2.15 5. ''The electric types''. The [[electric]], [[magnetic]], and electronic [[behavior]] of the worlds varies greatly. There are [[ten]] [[designs]] of [[mortal]] life variously [[fashioned]] to withstand the [[differential]] [[energy]] of the [[spheres]]. These [[ten]] varieties also [[react]] in slightly [[different]] ways to the [[chemical]] [[rays]] of ordinary [[sunlight]]. But these slight [[physical]] variations in no way [[affect]] the [[intellectual]] or the [[spiritual]] life.

49:2.16 Of the [[electric]] [[groupings]] of [[mortal]] life, almost twenty-three per cent belong to class number four, the [[Urantia]] [[type]] of [[existence]]. These [[types]] are [[distributed]] as follows: number 1, one per cent; number 2, two per cent; number 3, five per cent; number 4, twenty-three per cent; number 5, twenty-seven per cent; number 6, twenty-four per cent; number 7, eight per cent; number 8, five per cent; number 9, three per cent; number 10, two per cent—in whole percentages.

49:2.18 There are six [[differing]] [[types]] of [[animal]] and [[mortal]] [[nutrition]]: The ''subbreathers'' employ the first type of [[nutrition]], the [[marine]] dwellers the second, the mid-breathers the third, as on [[Urantia]]. The ''superbreathers'' employ the fourth type of [[energy]] intake, while the ''nonbreathers'' utilize the fifth order of [[nutrition]] and [[energy]]. The sixth [[technique]] of energizing is [[limited]] to the [[midway creatures]].

49:2.19 7. ''The unnamed types''. There are numerous additional [[physical]] variations in [[planetary]] life, but all of these [[differences]] are wholly matters of [[anatomical]] [[modification]], physiologic differentiation, and [[electrochemical]] [[adjustment]]. Such distinctions do not concern the [[intellectual]] or the [[spiritual]] life.
