49:1.5 In the [[development]] of [[planetary]] life the [[Plant|vegetable]] [[form]] always precedes the [[animal]] and is quite fully [[developed]] before the [[animal]] [[patterns]] [[differentiate]]. All [[animal]] [[types]] are [[developed]] from the basic [[patterns]] of the preceding vegetable kingdom of living [[things]]; they are not separately [[organized]].

49:1.6 The early [[stages]] of life [[evolution]] are not altogether in [[conformity]] with your [[present]]-day [[views]]. [[Mortal]] man is not an [[evolutionary]] [[accident]]. There is a precise [[system]], a [[universal]] [[law]], which [[determines]] the [[unfolding]] of the [[planetary]] life [[plan]] on the [[spheres]] of [[space]]. [[Time]] and the production of large [[numbers]] of a [[species]] are not the [[controlling]] [[influences]]. [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mice Mice] [[reproduce]] much more rapidly than [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephants elephants], yet elephants [[evolve]] more rapidly than mice.

49:1.7 The [[process]] of [[planetary]] [[evolution]] is orderly and [[controlled]]. The [[development]] of higher [[organisms]] from lower groupings of life is not [[accidental]]. Sometimes [[evolutionary]] [[progress]] is temporarily delayed by the destruction of certain favorable lines of [[life plasm]] carried in a selected [[species]]. It often requires [[ages]] upon ages to recoup the damage occasioned by the loss of a single superior strain of [[human]] [[heredity]]. These selected and superior strains of living [[protoplasm]] should be [[jealously]] and [[intelligently]] guarded when once they make their [[appearance]]. And on most of the ''inhabited worlds'' these superior [[potentials]] of life are valued much more highly than on [[Urantia]].

49:2.5 Of the atmospheric [[types]] in [[Satania]], about two and one-half per cent are subbreathers, about five per cent superbreathers, and over ninety-one per cent are mid-breathers, altogether accounting for ninety-eight and one-half per cent of the [[Satania]] worlds.

49:2.6 [[Beings]] such as the [[Urantia]] [[races]] are [[classified]] as mid-breathers; you [[represent]] the [[average]] or typical breathing order of [[mortal]] [[existence]]. If [[intelligent]] creatures should exist on a [[planet]] with an [[atmosphere]] similar to that of your near [[neighbor]], [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus Venus], they would belong to the ''superbreather'' [[group]], while those inhabiting a [[planet]] with an [[atmosphere]] as thin as that of your outer [[neighbor]], [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars Mars], would be [[denominated]] ''subbreathers''.

49:2.7 If [[mortals]] should inhabit a [[planet]] devoid of air, like your [[moon]], they would belong to the separate order of ''nonbreathers''. This [[type]] [[represents]] a [[radical]] or extreme [[adjustment]] to the [[planetary]] [[environment]] and is separately [[considered]]. ''Nonbreathers'' account for the remaining one and one-half per cent of [[Satania]] worlds.

49:2.9 It is quite impossible for you to [[envisage]] the [[environment]] which prevails during the [[Primitive|early]] [[ages]] of some worlds. These unusual conditions make it [[necessary]] for the [[evolving]] [[animal]] life to remain in its [[marine]] [[nursery]] [[habitat]] for longer periods than on those [[planets]] which very early provide a [[hospitable]] [[land]]-and-[[atmosphere]] [[environment]]. Conversely, on some worlds of the ''superbreathers'', when the [[planet]] is not too large, it is sometimes expedient to provide for a [[mortal]] [[type]] which can readily negotiate [[atmospheric]] passage. These air [[navigators]] sometimes [[intervene]] between the [[water]] and [[land]] [[groups]], and they always live in a [[measure]] upon the ground, [[eventually]] evolving into [[land]] dwellers. But on some worlds, for [[ages]] they continue to fly even after they have become [[land]]-[[type]] [[beings]].

49:2.10 It is both [[amazing]] and [[Humor|amusing]] to [[observe]] the early [[civilization]] of a [[primitive]] [[race]] of [[human beings]] taking shape, in one case, in the [[air]] and treetops and, in another, midst the shallow [[waters]] of sheltered tropic basins, as well as on the bottom, sides, and shores of these [[marine]] [[gardens]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_62 dawn races] of such extraordinary [[spheres]]. Even on [[Urantia]] there was a long age during which [[primitive]] man preserved himself and advanced his primitive [[civilization]] by living for the most part in the treetops as did his earlier [[arboreal]] [[ancestors]]. And on [[Urantia]] you still have a group of diminutive [[mammals]] (the [http://www.wikipedia.org/Bat bat] [[family]]) that are [[air]] [[navigators]], and your [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seals seals] and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whales whales], of [[marine]] [[habitat]], are also of the [[Mammal|mammalian]] order.

49:2.11 In [[Satania]], of the ''elemental types'', seven per cent are [[water]], ten per cent [[air]], seventy per cent [[land]], and thirteen per cent combined land-and-air types. But these [[modifications]] of early [[intelligent]] [[creatures]] are neither [[human]] [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishes fishes] nor human [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds birds]. They are of the [[human]] and prehuman types, neither superfishes nor [[glorified]] birds but distinctly [[mortal]].

49:2.12 3. ''The gravity types''. By [[modification]] of [[creative]] [[design]], [[intelligent]] [[beings]] are so constructed that they can freely [[function]] on [[spheres]] both smaller and larger than [[Urantia]], thus being, in [[measure]], [[accommodated]] to the [[gravity]] of those [[planets]] which are not of [[ideal]] size and [[density]].

49:3.1 The [[majority]] of inhabited [[planets]] are peopled with the [[breathing]] [[type]] of [[intelligent]] [[beings]]. But there are also [[orders]] of [[mortals]] who are able to live on worlds with little or no [[air]]. Of the [[Orvonton]] inhabited worlds this [[type]] amounts to less than seven per cent. In [[Nebadon]] this percentage is less than three. In all [[Satania]] there are only nine such worlds.

49:3.2 There are so very few of the ''nonbreather'' type of inhabited worlds in [[Satania]] because this more recently [[organized]] section of [[Norlatiadek]] still abounds in [[meteoric]] [[space]] bodies; and worlds without a protective [[friction]] [[atmosphere]] are subject to incessant bombardment by these wanderers. Even some of the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet comets] consist of [[meteor]] swarms, but as a rule they are disrupted smaller bodies of [[matter]].

49:3.3 Millions upon millions of [[meteorites]] enter the [[atmosphere]] of [[Urantia]] daily, coming in at the rate of almost two hundred miles a second. On the ''nonbreathing'' worlds the advanced [[races]] must do much to protect themselves from [[meteor]] damage by making [[electrical]] installations which operate to consume or shunt the [[meteors]]. Great [[danger]] confronts them when they venture beyond these protected zones. These worlds are also subject to disastrous [[electrical]] storms of a [[nature]] unknown on [[Urantia]]. During such times of tremendous [[energy]] [[Turbulence|fluctuation]] the inhabitants must take refuge in their special [[structures]] of protective [[insulation]].

49:5.6 2. ''Brain-type series''. The one [[physical]] [[uniformity]] of [[mortals]] is the [[brain]] and [[nervous system]]; nevertheless, there are [[three]] basic [[organizations]] of the [[brain]] [[mechanism]]: the one-, the two-, and the three-brained types. [[Urantia]]ns are of the two-brained type, somewhat more [[imaginative]], [[adventurous]], and [[philosophical]] than the one-brained mortals but somewhat less [[spiritual]], [[ethical]], and [[worshipful]] than the three-brained orders. These [[brain]] [[differences]] characterize even the prehuman [[animal]] [[existences]].

49:5.7 From the two-hemisphere [[type]] of the [[Urantia]]n [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_cortex cerebral cortex] you can, by [[analogy]], grasp something of the one-brained type. The third brain of the three-brained orders is best [[conceived]] as an evolvement of your lower or rudimentary [[form]] of [[brain]], which is developed to the point where it [[functions]] chiefly in control of [[physical]] [[activities]], leaving the two superior brains free for higher engagements: one for [[intellectual]] [[functions]] and the other for the [[spiritual]]-[[counterpart]]ing [[activities]] of the [[Thought Adjuster]].

49:5.8 While the [[terrestrial]] [[attainments]] of the one-brained races are slightly [[limited]] in [[comparison]] with the two-brained orders, the older [[planets]] of the three-brained [[group]] [[exhibit]] [[civilizations]] that would astound Urantians, and which would somewhat [[shame]] yours by [[comparison]]. In [[mechanical]] [[development]] and [[material]] [[civilization]], even in [[intellectual]] [[progress]], the two-brained mortal worlds are able to [[equal]] the three-brained spheres. But in the higher [[control]] of [[mind]] and [[development]] of [[intellectual]] and [[spiritual]] [[reciprocation]], you are somewhat inferior.
