The generic name Homo is a learned 18th century derivation from [[Latin]] homō "man", ultimately "[[earth]]ly [[being]]" (Old Latin hemō, cognate to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._600-1100.09THE_OLD_ENGLISH.2C_OR_ANGLO-SAXON_PERIOD Old English] guma "man", from PIE *dʰǵʰemon-, [[meaning]] 'earth' or 'ground').[8].

==Quote==
At first only the spirit of [[intuition]] could [[function]] in the instinctive and reflex [[behavior]] of the primordial [[animal]] life. With the differentiation of higher types, the spirit of [[understanding]] was able to endow such [[creatures]] with the gift of [[spontaneous]] association of [[ideas]]. Later on we observed the spirit of [[courage]] in operation; evolving animals really developed a crude form of protective self-[[consciousness]]. Subsequent to the appearance of the mammalian [[groups]], we beheld the spirit of [[knowledge]] manifesting itself in increased [[measure]]. And the [[evolution]] of the higher mammals brought the [[function]] of the spirit of [[counsel]], with the resulting [[growth]] of the herd instinct and the beginnings of primitive social development.
Increasingly, on down through the dawn mammals, the mid-mammals, and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primate Primates], we had observed the augmented service of the first five adjutants. But never had the remaining two, the highest mind ministers, been able to function in the [[Urantia]] type of evolutionary [[mind]].
[[Imagine]] our [[joy]] one day--the twins were about ten years old--when the spirit of [[worship]] made its first contact with the mind of the female twin and shortly thereafter with the male. We knew that something closely akin to human mind was approaching culmination; and when, about a year later, they finally resolved, as a result of [[meditative]] [[thought]] and [[purpose]]ful [[decision]], to flee from [[home]] and [[journey]] north, then did the spirit of [[wisdom]] begin to [[function]] on [[Urantia]] and in these two now recognized human minds.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_62#62:6._EVOLUTION_OF_THE_HUMAN_MIND]
