==63:4. THE ANDONIC CLANS==     

63:4.1 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN Primitive man]—the ''Andonites''—had black eyes and a swarthy [[complexion]], something of a cross between yellow and red. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_shelters Melanin] is a coloring substance which is found in the skins of all [[human]] [[beings]]. It is the [[original]] Andonic skin pigment. In general [[appearance]] and skin [[color]] these early Andonites more nearly resembled the present-day [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo Eskimo] than any other type of living [[human being]]s. They were the first [[creatures]] to use the [[skin]]s of [[animals]] as a [[protection]] against cold; they had little more hair on their bodies than present-day humans.

63:4.2 The [[tribal]] life of the [[animal]] [[ancestors]] of these early men had [[foreshadowed]] the beginnings of numerous [[social]] [[conventions]], and with the expanding [[emotions]] and augmented [[brain]] [[powers]] of these [[beings]], there was an [[immediate]] [[development]] in social [[organization]] and a new division of clan [[labor]]. They were exceedingly [[imitative]], but the [[play]] [[instinct]] was only slightly [[developed]], and the sense of [[humor]] was almost entirely [[absent]]. [[Primitive]] man smiled occasionally, but he never indulged in hearty [[laughter]]. [[Humor]] was the [[legacy]] of the later [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:2._THE_ADAMITES_IN_THE_SECOND_GARDEN Adamic race]. These early [[human beings]] were not so [[sensitive]] to [[pain]] nor so [[reactive]] to unpleasant situations as were many of the later evolving [[mortals]]. [[Childbirth]] was not a painful or distressing ordeal to Fonta and her [[immediate]] [[progeny]].

63:4.3 They were a [[wonderful]] [[tribe]]. The [[males]] would fight [[heroically]] for the [[safety]] of their [[mates]] and their [[offspring]]; the [[females]] were [[affectionately]] [[devoted]] to their [[children]]. But their [[patriotism]] was wholly [[limited]] to the [[immediate]] [[clan]]. They were very [[loyal]] to their [[families]]; they would die without question in [[defense]] of their [[children]], but they were not able to grasp the [[idea]] of trying to make the world a better place for their grandchildren. [[Altruism]] was as yet unborn in the [[human]] [[heart]], notwithstanding that all of the [[emotions]] [[essential]] to the [[birth]] of [[religion]] were already present in these [[Urantia]] [[aborigines]].

63:4.5 The [[original]] Andonic [[clan]] maintained an unbroken line of [[leadership]] until the twenty-seventh [[generation]], when, no [[male]] [[offspring]] appearing among Sontad's direct descendants, two rival would-be rulers of the clan fell to fighting for [[Hegemony|supremacy]].

63:4.6 Before the extensive [[dispersion]] of the Andonic clans a well-[[developed]] [[language]] had evolved from their early [[efforts]] to [[intercommunicate]]. This [[language]] continued to [[grow]], and almost daily additions were made to it because of the new [[inventions]] and [[adaptations]] to [[environment]] which were [[developed]] by these [[active]], restless, and [[curious]] people. And this [[language]] became the [[word]] of [[Urantia]], the tongue of the early [[human]] [[family]], until the later [[appearance]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 colored races].

63:4.7 As time passed, the Andonic [[clans]] grew in [[number]], and the [[contact]] of the expanding [[families]] developed [[friction]] and misunderstandings. Only two [[things]] came to occupy the [[minds]] of these peoples: [[hunting]] to obtain [[food]] and fighting to avenge themselves against some real or supposed injustice or insult at the hands of the neighboring tribes.

63:6.3 The Andonites early [[developed]] a [[fear]] of the [[Weather|elements]]—thunder, lightning, rain, snow, hail, and ice. But [[hunger]] was the constantly recurring urge of these early days, and since they largely subsisted on [[animals]], they eventually evolved a [[form]] of [[animal]] [[worship]]. To Andon, the larger [[food]] [[animals]] were [[symbols]] of [[creative]] might and sustaining [[power]]. From time to time it became the [[custom]] to designate various of these larger animals as objects of [[worship]]. During the vogue of a particular [[animal]], crude [[outlines]] of it would be drawn on the walls of the [[caves]], and later on, as continued [[progress]] was made in the [[arts]], such an animal [[god]] was engraved on various ornaments.

63:6.4 Very early the Andonic peoples formed the [[habit]] of refraining from eating the [[flesh]] of the [[animal]] of tribal [[veneration]]. Presently, in order more suitably to impress the [[minds]] of their [[youths]], they evolved a [[ceremony]] of [[reverence]] which was carried out about the [[body]] of one of these [[venerated]] [[animals]]; and still later on, this [[primitive]] [[performance]] [[developed]] into the more elaborate [[sacrificial]] [[ceremonies]] of their descendants. And this is the [[origin]] of [[sacrifices]] as a part of [[worship]]. This [[idea]] was elaborated by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] in the [[Hebrew]] [[ritual]] and was preserved, in principle, by the [[Apostle]] [[Paul, the Apostle|Paul]] as the [[doctrine]] of [[atonement]] for [[sin]] by "the shedding of blood."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_IX]

63:6.7 Onagar [[maintained]] [[headquarters]] on the northern shores of the ancient [[Mediterranean]] in the region of the present [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspian_Sea Caspian Sea] at a settlement called Oban, the tarrying place on the westward turning of the [[travel]] trail leading up northward from the Mesopotamian southland. From Oban he sent out [[teachers]] to the remote settlements to spread his new [[doctrines]] of one [[Deity]] and his [[concept]] of the [[hereafter]], which he called the ''Great Beyond''. These emissaries of Onagar were the world's first missionaries; they were also the first [[human beings]] to cook meat, the first regularly to use [[fire]] in the [[preparation]] of [[food]]. They cooked flesh on the ends of sticks and also on hot stones; later on they roasted large pieces in the [[fire]], but their descendants almost entirely reverted to the use of raw flesh.

63:6.8 Onagar was born 983,323 years ago (from A.D. 1934), and he lived to be sixty-nine years of age. The [[record]] of the achievements of this master [[mind]] and [[spiritual]] [[leader]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN pre-Planetary Prince days] is a thrilling recital of the [[organization]] of these [[primitive]] peoples into a real [[society]]. He [[instituted]] an efficient [[tribal]] [[government]], the like of which was not [[attained]] by succeeding generations in many millenniums. Never again, until the arrival of the [[Planetary Prince]], was there such a high [[spiritual]] [[civilization]] on [[earth]]. These simple people had a real though [[primitive]] [[religion]][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_86], but it was subsequently lost to their deteriorating descendants.

63:6.9 Although both Andon and Fonta had received [[Thought Adjusters]], as had many of their descendants, it was not until the days of Onagar that the [[Adjusters]] and [[guardian seraphim]] came in great [[numbers]] to [[Urantia]]. This was, indeed, the golden age of [[primitive]] man.

63:7.1 ''Andon and Fonta'', the splendid founders of the [[human]] [[race]], received [[recognition]] at the time of the [[adjudication]] of [[Urantia]] upon the arrival of the [[Planetary Prince]], and in due time they emerged from the [[regime]] of the [[mansion worlds]] with [[citizenship]] [[status]] on [[Jerusem]]. Although they have never been permitted to return to [[Urantia]], they are cognizant of the [[history]] of the [[race]] they founded.

63:7.3 Andon and Fonta, shortly after their arrival on [[Jerusem]], received permission from the [[System Sovereign]] to return to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_47_-_The_Seven_Mansion_Worlds#47:3_THE_FIRST_MANSION_WORLD first mansion world] to serve with the [[morontia]] [[personalities]] who welcome the [[pilgrims]] of time from [[Urantia]] to the [[heavenly]] [[spheres]]. And they have been assigned indefinitely to this [[service]]. They sought to send greetings to [[Urantia]] in [[connection]] with these [[revelations]], but this request was wisely denied them.
