The length of time consumed in this early life [[evolution]] varies greatly on the [[different]] worlds, ranging from one hundred and fifty thousand years to over one million years of [[Urantia]] time.

52:1.2 The [[evolutionary]] [[races]] of [[color]]—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and indigo—begin to appear about the time that primitive man is developing a simple language and is beginning to exercise the creative imagination. By this time man is well accustomed to standing erect.

52:1.4 In the [[light]] of subsequent [[civilization]], this era of [[primitive]] man is a long, dark, and [[Violent|bloody]] chapter. The [[ethics]] of the jungle and the [[morals]] of the primeval forests are not in keeping with the [[standards]] of later [[dispensations]] of [[revealed]] [[religion]] and higher [[spiritual]] [[development]]. On [[normal]] and nonexperimental worlds this [[epoch]] is very [[different]] from the prolonged and extraordinarily [[Barbarism|brutal]] [[struggles]] which characterized this [[age]] on [[Urantia]]. When you have [[emerged]] from your first world [[experience]], you will begin to see why this long and [[painful]] [[struggle]] on the [[evolutionary worlds]] occurs, and as you go forward in the [[Paradise]] path, you will increasingly [[understand]] the [[wisdom]] of these [[apparently]] strange [[doings]].

52:1.5 Early [[evolutionary]] man is not a [[colorful]] [[creature]]. In general, these [[primitive]] [[mortals]] are [[cave]] dwellers or cliff residents. They also build crude huts in the large trees. Before they acquire a high order of [[intelligence]], the [[planets]] are sometimes overrun with the larger [[types]] of [[animals]]. But early in this [[era]] [[mortals]] learn to kindle and [[maintain]] fire, and with the increase of [[inventive]] [[imagination]] and the improvement in [[tools]], evolving man soon vanquishes the larger and more unwieldy [[animals]]. The [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 early races] also make extensive use of the larger flying animals. These enormous [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds birds] are able to carry one or two [[average]]-sized men for a nonstop flight of over five hundred miles. On some [[planets]] these birds are of great [[service]] since they [[possess]] a high order of [[intelligence]], often being able to speak many [[words]] of the [[languages]] of the realm. These birds are most [[intelligent]], very [[obedient]], and unbelievably [[affectionate]]. Such passenger birds have been long extinct on [[Urantia]], but your early [[ancestors]] enjoyed their [[services]].

52:1.6 Man's acquirement of [[ethical]] [[judgment]], [[moral]] [[Free will|will]], is usually [[coincident]] with the [[appearance]] of early [[language]].

52:3.7 By the end of the Adamic [[dispensation]] on a [[normal]] [[planet]] the [[races]] are practically blended, so that it can be truly proclaimed that "God has made of one blood all the nations,"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Acts_of_the_Apostles#Acts.17] and that his Son "has made of one color all peoples." The color of such an amalgamated race is somewhat of an olive shade of the violet hue, the racial "white" of the spheres.
