62:2.2 These dawn [[mammals]] [[attained]] [[Maturity|full growth]] when three or four years of age, having a [[potential]] life span, on the [[average]], of about twenty years. As a rule [[offspring]] were born singly, although twins were occasional.

62:2.3 The members of this new [[species]] had the largest [[brains]] for their size of any [[animal]] that had theretofore existed on [[earth]]. They [[experienced]] many of the [[emotions]] and shared numerous [[instincts]] which later characterized [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN primitive man],[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleolithic#Human_evolution] being highly [[curious]] and exhibiting considerable [[Joy|elation]] when successful at any undertaking. [[Food]] hunger and [[sex]] craving were well [[developed]], and a definite sex selection was [[manifested]] in a crude form of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtship courtship] and [[choice]] of [[Reproduction|mates]]. They would fight fiercely in [[defense]] of their kindred and were quite tender in [[family]] associations, possessing a sense of self-abasement bordering on [[shame]] and remorse. They were very [[affectionate]] and [[Touch|touchingly]] [[loyal]] to their [[mates]], but if circumstances separated them, they would choose new [[partners]].

62:2.4 Being small of stature and having keen [[minds]] to [[realize]] the dangers of their forest [[habitat]], they [[developed]] an extraordinary [[fear]] which led to those [[wise]] precautionary measures that so enormously [[contributed]] to [[survival]], such as their construction of crude [[shelters]] in the high treetops which eliminated many of the perils of ground life. The beginning of the [[fear]] [[tendencies]] of [[mankind]] more specifically dates from these days.

62:2.6 These aggressive little [[animals]] multiplied and spread over the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamian] peninsula for more than one thousand years, constantly improving in [[physical]] type and general [[intelligence]]. And it was just seventy [[generations]] after this new [[tribe]] had taken [[origin]] from the highest type of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemur lemur] [[ancestor]] that the next [[epoch]]-making [[development]] occurred—the sudden differentiation of the [[ancestors]] of the next vital step in the [[evolution]] of [[human being]]s on [[Urantia]].
