52:1.1 From the [[time]] of [[man]]'s [[emergence]] from the [[animal]] [[level]]—when he can [[choose]] to [[worship]] the [[Creator]]—to the arrival of the [[Planetary Prince]], [[mortal]] [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]] are called [[primitive]] men. There are [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 six basic types] or [[races]] of [[primitive]] men, and these early peoples [[successively]] appear in the order of the [[spectrum]] [[colors]], beginning with the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red red]. 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.

52:1.3 [[Primitive]] men are mighty [[hunters]] and fierce [[Warrior|fighters]]. The [[law]] of this [[age]] is the [[physical]] [[survival]] of the [http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/340400.html fittest]; the [[government]] of these times is wholly [[tribal]].

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]]. But notwithstanding all the [[vicissitudes]] of the early [[ages]] of [[human]] [[emergence]], the [[performances]] of [[primitive]] man [[represent]] a splendid, even a [[heroic]], chapter in the annals of an [[evolutionary world]] of [[time and space]].

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 [http://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]]. Upon [[attaining]] the [[human]] [[level]], after this [[emergence]] of [[mortal]] [[Free will|will]], these [[beings]] become [[receptive]] to the temporary indwelling of the [[divine]] [[Adjusters]], and upon [[death]] many are duly [[elected]] as [[survivors]] and sealed[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Revelation#Chapter_7] by the [[archangels]] for subsequent [[resurrection]] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:9._SPIRIT-FUSED_MORTALS Spirit fusion]. The [[archangels]] always accompany the [[Planetary Princes]], and a [[dispensational]] [[adjudication]] of the realm is [[simultaneous]] with the prince's arrival.

52:1.7 All [[mortals]] who are indwelt by [[Thought Adjusters]] are [[potential]] [[worshipers]]; they have been "lighted by the true light,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter] and they [[possess]] [[capacity]] for seeking [[reciprocal]] [[contact]] with [[divinity]]. Nevertheless, the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_86 early] or [[biologic]] [[religion]] of [[primitive]] man is largely a [[persistence]] of [[animal]] [[fear]] coupled with [[ignorant]] [[awe]] and [[tribal]] [[superstition]]. The [[survival]] of [[superstition]] in the [[Urantia]] [[races]] is hardly complimentary to your [[evolutionary]] [[development]] nor compatible with your otherwise splendid [[achievements]] in [[material]] [[progress]]. But this early [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_87 fear religion] serves a very [[valuable]] [[purpose]] in subduing the fiery tempers of these [[primitive]] [[creatures]]. It is the forerunner of [[civilization]] and the [[soil]] for the subsequent planting of the [[seeds]] of [[revealed]] [[religion]] by the [[Planetary Prince]] and his ministers.

52:1.8 Within one hundred thousand years from the time man acquires erect [[posture]], the [[Planetary Prince]] usually arrives, having been dispatched by the [[System Sovereign]] upon the report of the [[Life Carriers]] that will is [[functioning]], even though [[comparatively]] few [[individuals]] have thus [[developed]].
