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]].
