51:1.2 The [[material]] order of sonship is not [[uniform]] throughout the [[local universe]]. The [[Creator Son]] produces only one pair of these [[beings]] in each [[local system]]; these [[original]] pairs are [[diverse]] in [[nature]], being [[attuned]] to the life [[pattern]] of their respective [[the System|systems]]. This is a [[necessary]] provision since otherwise the [[reproductive]] [[potential]] of ''the Adams'' would be nonfunctional with that of the [[evolving]] [[mortal]] [[beings]] of the worlds of any one particular system. The [[Adam and Eve]] who came to [[Urantia]] were descended from the [[original]] [[Satania]] pair of ''Material Sons''.

51:1.3 Material Sons vary in height from eight to ten feet, and their [[bodies]] [[glow]] with the [[brilliance]] of [[radiant]] [[light]] of a [[violet]] [[hue]]. While [[material]] [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood blood] [[circulates]] through their [[material]] [[bodies]], they are also surcharged with [[divine]] [[energy]] and [[saturated]] with [[celestial]] [[light]]. These ''Material Sons'' (the Adams) and Material Daughters (the Eves) are [[equal]] to each other, [[differing]] only in [[reproductive]] [[nature]] and in certain [[chemical]] [[endowments]]. They are [[equal]] but [[differential]], [[male]] and [[female]]—hence [[complemental]]—and are [[designed]] to serve on almost all assignments in pairs.

51:1.4 The Material Sons enjoy a [[dual]] [[nutrition]]; they are really dual in [[nature]] and [[constitution]], partaking of [[materialized]] [[energy]] much as do the [[physical]] [[beings]] of the realm, while their [[immortal]] [[existence]] is fully [[maintained]] by the direct and [[automatic]] intake of certain sustaining [[cosmic]] [[energies]]. Should they fail on some mission of assignment or even [[consciously]] and [[deliberately]] [[rebel]], this order of Sons becomes [[isolated]], cut off from [[connection]] with the [[universe]] [[source]] of [[light]] and life. Thereupon they become [[practically]] [[material]] [[beings]], destined to take the [[course]] of [[material]] life on the world of their assignment and compelled to look to the [[universe]] [[magistrates]] for [[adjudication]]. [[Material]] [[death]] will [[eventually]] terminate the [[planetary]] [[career]] of such an unfortunate and unwise ''Material Son or Daughter''.

51:4.1 The [[race]] of [[dominance]] during the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 early ages] of the [[inhabited worlds]] is the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA red man], who ordinarily is the first to [[attain]] [[human]] [[levels]] of [[development]]. But while the red man is the senior [[race]] of the [[planets]], the succeeding [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA colored peoples] begin to make their [[appearances]] very early in the [[age]] of [[mortal]] [[emergence]].

51:4.2 The earlier races are somewhat superior to the later; the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA red man stands far above the indigo]—black—[[race]]. The [[Life Carriers]] impart the full [[bestowal]] of the living [[energies]] to the initial or red race, and each succeeding [[evolutionary]] [[manifestation]] of a distinct [[group]] of [[mortals]] [[represents]] variation at the expense of the [[original]] [[endowment]]. Even [[mortal]] stature tends to decrease from the red man down to the indigo race, although on [[Urantia]] unexpected strains of [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giantism giantism] appeared among the green and orange peoples.

The evolutionary races thus [[alternate]] in [[capacity]] for [[intellectual]] [[growth]] and [[spiritual]] [[development]], the second, fourth, and sixth being somewhat less [[endowed]]. These secondary races are the peoples that are missing on certain worlds; they are the ones that have been exterminated on many others. It is a misfortune on [[Urantia]] that you so largely lost your superior blue men, except as they persist in your amalgamated "white race." The loss of your orange and green stocks is not of such serious concern.

51:4.4 The [[evolution]] of six—or of three—colored [[races]], while seeming to deteriorate the [[original]] endowment of the red man, provides certain very desirable variations in [[mortal]] [[types]] and affords an otherwise unattainable [[expression]] of [[diverse]] [[human]] [[potentials]]. These [[modifications]] are beneficial to the [[progress]] of [[mankind]] as a whole provided they are subsequently upstepped by the imported [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78 Adamic or violet race]. On [[Urantia]] this usual plan of [[amalgamation]] was not extensively carried out, and this failure to [[execute]] the plan of [[race]] [[evolution]] makes it impossible for you to [[understand]] very much about the [[status]] of these peoples on an [[average]] [[inhabited planet]] by [[observing]] the remnants of these early races on your world.

51:4.6 The more backward humans are usually employed as laborers by the more [[progressive]] races. This accounts for the [[origin]] of [[slavery]] on the [[planets]] during the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN early ages]. The orange men are usually subdued by the red and reduced to the [[status]] of servants—sometimes [[Genocide|exterminated]]. The yellow and red men often fraternize, but not always. The yellow race usually [[Slavery|enslaves]] the green, while the blue man subdues the indigo.
