49:4.1 There are great [[differences]] between the [[mortals]] of the different worlds, even among those belonging to the same [[intellectual]] and [[physical]] [[types]], but all [[mortals]] of [[Free will|will]] [[dignity]] are erect [[animals]], bipeds.

49:4.2 There are [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 six basic] [[evolutionary]] [[races]]: [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA three primary—red, yellow, and blue; and three secondary—orange, green, and indigo]. Most inhabited worlds have all of these [[races]], but many of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49#49:5._THE_PLANETARY_SERIES_OF_MORTALS three-brained] [[planets]] harbor only the three primary types. Some [[local systems]] also have only these three races.

49:4.3 The [[average]] special [[physical]]-[[sense]] [[endowment]] of [[human beings]] is twelve, though the special [[senses]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49#49:5._THE_PLANETARY_SERIES_OF_MORTALS three-brained mortals] are extended slightly beyond those of the one- and two-brained types; they can see and hear considerably more than the [[Urantia]] [[races]].

49:4.4 Young are usually born singly, multiple [[births]] being the exception, and the [[family]] life is fairly [[uniform]] on all [[types]] of [[planets]]. [[Sex]] [[equality]] prevails on all advanced worlds; [[male]] and [[female]] are [[equal]] in [[mind]] [[endowment]] and [[spiritual]] [[status]]. We do not regard a [[planet]] as having emerged from [[barbarism]] so long as one [[sex]] seeks to [[tyrannize]] over the other. This feature of [[creature]] [[experience]] is always greatly improved after the arrival of a [[Material Son and Daughter]].

49:4.5 [[Seasons]] and [[temperature]] variations occur on all sunlighted and [[sun]]-[[heated]] planets. [[Agriculture]] is [[universal]] on all [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49#49:2._PLANETARY_PHYSICAL_TYPES atmospheric worlds]; tilling the [[soil]] is the one pursuit that is common to the advancing [[races]] of all such [[planets]].

49:4.6 [[Mortals]] all have the same general [[struggles]] with [[microscopic]] foes in their early days, such as you now [[experience]] on [[Urantia]], though perhaps not so extensive. The length of life varies on the [[different]] [[planets]] from twenty-five years on the [[primitive]] worlds to near five hundred on the more advanced and older [[spheres]].

49:4.7 [[Human being]]s are all [[gregarious]], both [[tribal]] and [[racial]]. These group [[segregations]] are [[inherent]] in their [[origin]] and [[constitution]]. Such [[tendencies]] can be [[modified]] only by advancing [[civilization]] and by [[gradual]] [[spiritualization]]. The [[social]], [[economic]], and [[governmental]] [[problems]] of the inhabited worlds vary in [[accordance]] with the age of the [[planets]] and the [[degree]] to which they have been [[influenced]] by the [[successive]] [[sojourns]] of the [[divine Sons]].

49:4.8 [[Mind]] is the [[bestowal]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]] and [[functions]] quite the same in [[diverse]] [[environments]]. The [[mind]] of [[mortals]] is akin, regardless of certain [[structural]] and [[chemical]] [[differences]] which characterize the [[physical]] [[natures]] of the [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]] of the [[local systems]]. Regardless of [[personal]] or [[physical]] [[planetary]] [[differences]], the [[mental]] life of all these various [[orders]] of [[mortals]] is very similar, and their [[immediate]] careers after [[death]] are very much alike.

49:4.9 But [[mortal]] [[mind]] without [[immortal]] [[spirit]] cannot [[survive]]. The [[mind]] of [[man]] is [[mortal]]; only the [[bestowed]] [[spirit]] is [[immortal]]. [[Survival]] is dependent on [[spiritualization]] by the [[ministry]] of the [[Adjuster]]—on the [[birth]] and [[evolution]] of the [[immortal]] [[soul]]; at least, there must not have [[developed]] an [[Resistance|antagonism]] towards the [[Adjuster]]'s mission of [[effecting]] the [[spiritual]] [[transformation]] of the [[material]] [[mind]].
