62:3.5 And now, for almost fifteen thousand years (six hundred [[generations]]), this [[creature]] became the [[Dominate|terror]] of this part of the world. All of the great and vicious [[animals]] of former times had perished. The large beasts [[native]] to these regions were not [[carnivorous]], and the larger [[species]] of the cat family, lions and tigers, had not yet invaded this peculiarly sheltered nook of the [[earth]]'s [[surface]]. Therefore did these mid-mammals wax valiant and subdue the whole of their corner of [[creation]].

62:3.6 [[Compared]] with the [[ancestral]] [[species]], the mid-mammals were an improvement in every way. Even their [[potential]] life span was longer, being about twenty-five years. A number of rudimentary [[human]] traits appeared in this new species. In addition to the [[innate]] propensities exhibited by their [[ancestors]], these mid-mammals were capable of showing [[disgust]] in certain repulsive situations. They further [[possessed]] a well-defined hoarding [[instinct]]; they would hide [[food]] for subsequent use and were greatly given to the [[collection]] of smooth round pebbles and certain types of round stones suitable for [[defensive]] and offensive ammunition.

62:3.7 These mid-mammals were the first to exhibit a definite construction [[propensity]], as shown in their rivalry in the building of both treetop homes and their many-tunneled subterranean retreats; they were the first [[species]] of [[mammals]] ever to provide for [[safety]] in both [[arboreal]] and underground shelters. They largely forsook the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trees trees] as places of [[abode]], living on the ground during the day and [[sleeping]] in the treetops at night.
