62:5.2 These two remarkable [[creatures]] were true [[human]] [[beings]]. They [[possessed]] [[perfect]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposable_thumbs human thumbs], as had many of their [[ancestors]], while they had just as perfect feet as the present-day [[human]] [[races]]. They were walkers and runners, not climbers; the grasping [[function]] of the big toe was absent, completely [[absent]]. When [[danger]] drove them to the [[treetops]], they climbed just like the [[humans]] of today would. They would climb up the trunk of a tree like a bear and not as would a chimpanzee or a gorilla, swinging up by the branches.

62:5.4 Many new [[emotions]] early appeared in these [[human]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twins twins]. They [[experienced]] [[Wonder|admiration]] for both objects and other [[beings]] and [[exhibited]] considerable [[vanity]]. But the most remarkable [[advance]] in [[emotional]] [[development]] was the sudden appearance of a new group of really human [[feelings]], the [[worshipful]] group, [[embracing]] [[awe]], [[reverence]], [[humility]], and even a [[primitive]] [[form]] of [[gratitude]]. [[Fear]], joined with [[ignorance]] of [[natural]] [[phenomena]], is about to give [[birth]] to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_86 primitive religion].

62:5.5 Not only were such [[human]] [[feelings]] [[manifested]] in these [[primitive]] [[humans]], but many more highly evolved sentiments were also present in rudimentary [[form]]. They were mildly cognizant of [[pity]], [[shame]], and reproach and were acutely [[conscious]] of [[love]], hate, and revenge, being also susceptible to marked [[feelings]] of [[jealousy]].

62:5.6 These first two [[humans]]—the twins—were a great [[trial]] to their  [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primtates Primates] [[parents]]. They were so [[curious]] and [[adventurous]] that they nearly lost their lives on numerous occasions before they were eight years old. As it was, they were rather well scarred up by the time they were twelve.

62:5.7 Very early they [[learned]] to [[engage]] in [[verbal]] [[communication]]; by the age of ten they had worked out an improved [[sign]] and [[word]] [[language]] of almost half a hundred [[ideas]] and had greatly improved and expanded the crude communicative [[technique]] of their [[ancestors]]. But try as hard as they might, they were able to [[teach]] only a few of their new signs and symbols to their [[parents]].

62:5.8 When about nine years of age, they [[journeyed]] off down the [[river]] one bright day and held a momentous [[conference]]. Every [[celestial]] [[intelligence]] stationed on [[Urantia]], including myself, was present as an [[observer]] of the [[transactions]] of this noontide tryst. On this eventful day they arrived at an understanding to live with and for each other, and this was the first of a [[series]] of such [[agreements]] which finally culminated in the [[decision]] to flee from their inferior [[animal]] associates and to [[journey]] northward, little knowing that they were thus to found the [[human]] [[race]].

62:5.9 While we were all greatly concerned with what these two little savages were planning, we were powerless to [[control]] the working of their [[minds]]; we did not—could not—[[arbitrarily]] [[influence]] their [[decisions]]. But within the permissible [[limits]] of [[planetary]] [[function]], we, the [[Life Carriers]], together with our [[associates]], all [[conspired]] to [[lead]] the [[human]] twins northward and far from their hairy and partially tree-dwelling people. And so, by [[reason]] of their own [[intelligent]] [[choice]], the twins did [[migrate]], and because of our supervision they migrated northward to a secluded region where they [[escaped]] the [[possibility]] of [[biologic]] degradation through admixture with their inferior relatives of the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primates Primates] tribes.

62:5.10 Shortly before their departure from the home [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest forests] they lost their [[mother]] in a [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbon gibbon] raid. While she did not [[possess]] their [[intelligence]], she did have a [[worthy]] [[mammalian]] [[affection]] of a high order for her [[offspring]], and she fearlessly gave her life in the attempt to save the [[wonderful]] pair. Nor was her [[sacrifice]] in vain, for she held off the enemy until the [[father]] arrived with reinforcements and put the invaders to rout.

62:5.11 Soon after this young couple forsook their [[associates]] to found the [[human]] [[race]], their Primates [[father]] became disconsolate—he was heartbroken. He refused to eat, even when [[food]] was brought to him by his other [[children]]. His brilliant offspring having been lost, life did not seem worth living among his ordinary fellows; so he wandered off into the forest, was set upon by hostile gibbons and beaten to [[death]].
