p9: alchemy to chemistry See Marjorie Ray’s presentation on water at the 2016 Scientific Symposium held at Urantia Foundation. Watch a video showing the peculiar relationship that your editor has to ice spikes or Halbertcicles, as I like to call them. Here’s one I call “The Spherical Cube”:
physics (chemistry) is used six paragraphs and every time it is used in association with chemistry. See: (12:9.3), (58:2.3), (65:6.8), (66:5.24), (102:4.6), and (195:6.11). Chemistry also appears at: (41:2.6), (42:9.1), (49:5.19), (65:6.1), (74:6.3), and (81:2.9).
astronomy is mentioned seven times: (79:7.6), (81:2.9), (88:6.5), (102:4.6), (121:7.12), (123:6.6), and (150:3.3).
alchemy is mentioned once.
p12: camels See September 2021 BBC article dating huge rock carvings of camels to around 5000 B.C.
p14: See cross-reference study on undiscovered.
p19: Wikipedia page: Xianren Cave is a small archaeological site located in Dayuan Village (大源乡), Wannian County in the Jiangxi province, China and a location of historically important discoveries of prehistoric pottery shards and it bears evidence of early rice cultivation. The site’s name refers to the legendary Chinese enlightened people, the Xian “immortals”. The cave is 7 m (23.0 ft) high, 11 m (36.1 ft) wide, and 14 m (45.9 ft) deep. A 2012 publication in the Science journal, announced that the earliest pottery yet known anywhere in the world was found at this site dating to between 20,000 and 19,000 years before present.

66:5.5 Organization of the Princes Staff re: animal domestication.
69:7.4 The dog was the first animal to be domesticated.
Section 3: Cities, Manufacture, and Commerce
p3: metric conversion: “. . . the average primitive community rose 30–60 cm every 25 years . . .”
Section 4: The Mixed Races
p2: long headed See Brien Foerster’s documentary Elongated Skull Phenomenon: Global Presence, DNA Analysis, Blood Type Anomalies And More. He is a featured non UB scholar.
p4,9: aborigines/aboriginal are used thirteen times, including the one time it is preceded by “so-called” in reference to the secondary Sangik mixture found in southern Indian at 79:2.2. The other references, involving the original Andonic stock are at: (61:6.3), (61:7.4), (63:4.3), (63:5.4), (64:1.0), (64:7.18), (76:2.4), (78: 1.5), (79:2.2), (81:4.4,9), (85:1.5).
Section 5: Cultural Society
Research by renowned geneticist Bruce Lahn on the microcephalin gene (responsible for brain growth) has numerous parallels with The Urantia Book‘s recounting of Adam and Eve’s genetic contribution. Additional genetic and linguistic studies also provide support. See UBtheNEWS Adam and Eve Report. See UBtheNEWS Adam and Eve video. See Evolving Souls “The Urantia Book’s Planetary History: A Credibility Check” presented by Halbert Katzen video.
p1: See the UBtheNEWS Eyes, Skin, and Hair Color research page.
