68:0.1 This is the beginning of the [[narrative]] of the long, long forward [[struggle]] of the [[human]] [[species]] from a [[status]] that was little better than an [[animal]] [[existence]], through the intervening [[ages]], and down to the later times when a real, though imperfect, [[civilization]] had evolved among the higher [[races]] of [[mankind]].

68:0.2 [[Civilization]] is a racial acquirement; it is not [[biologically]] [[inherent]]; hence must all [[children]] be reared in an [[environment]] of [[culture]], while each [[succeeding]] [[generation]] of [[youth]] must receive anew its [[education]]. The superior [[qualities]] of [[civilization]]—[[scientific]], [[philosophic]], and [[religious]]—are not [[transmitted]] from one [[generation]] to another by direct [[inheritance]]. These [[cultural]] [[achievements]] are preserved only by the [[enlightened]] [[conservation]] of [[social]] inheritance.

68:0.3 [[Social]] [[evolution]] of the [[co-operative]] order was [[initiated]] by the [[Dalamatia]] [[teachers]], and for three hundred thousand years [[mankind]] was nurtured in the [[idea]] of [[group]] [[activities]]. The [blue man most of all profited by these early [[social]] [[teachings]], the red man to some extent, and the black man least of all. In more recent times the yellow race and the white race have presented the most advanced [[social]] [[development]] on [[Urantia]].
