Introduction
Section 1: The Early Lemur Types
Studies increasingly place lemurs in the direct line of human ancestry. See the UBtheNEWS Lemurs to Humans Research page. See also (61:1.2,4) Lemur origin, and (61:2.10) First true lemur.
Section 2: The Dawn Mammals
p1: suddenly From Wikipedia: Stephan Wolfram: “From 1992 to 2002, Stephen Wolfram worked on his controversial book A New Kind of Science, which presents an empirical study of very simple computational systems. Additionally, it argues that for fundamental reasons these types of systems, rather than traditional mathematics, are needed to model and understand complexity in nature. Wolfram’s conclusion is that the universe is digital in its nature, and runs on fundamental laws which can be described as simple programs. He predicts that a realization of this within the scientific communities will have a major and revolutionary influence on physics, chemistry and biology and the majority of the scientific areas in general, which is the reason for the book’s title.”
See “Is There Design in Nature,” Section 7 of Neal Kendall’s Scientific Symposium presentation at Urantia Foundation in 2016.
metric conversion: “They were active little creatures, almost 91 cm tall . . .”
p3: shame See cross-reference study: Shame(ful(ly)) Lax.
Section 3: The Mid-Mammals
p2: metric conversion: “These children grew to be a little over 1.2 m in height.”
p3: metric conversion: “. . . all more than 1.2 m tall and in every . . .”
p6: disgust is used in three paragraphs in three distinct yet progressively related context:
1) 62:3.6 prehuman (disgust towards “repulsive situations”),
2) 72:5.12 civilized man (neighboring planet’s attitude toward idleness and unearned wealth), and
3) 177:4.7 sinful man (Caiaphas toward Judas).
disgusted is used twice: Job’s attitude towards is misguided friends (177:4.7) and Judas attitude towards Mary’s anointing of Jesus’ feet, which got rebuked (172:5.12).
p9: frog A study published out of Hiroshima University in 2021 supports frogs as the ancestor of other vertebrates, stating “What’s more, the research team uncovered that the potential sex-chromosomes involved in the translocations contained orthologs of the sex-determining genes in mammals, birds, and fishes.”
A 2021 TED talk by Michael Levin reviews new research with frogs that is helping to identify and manipulate an electrical communication between cells (not related to the nervous systems) that tells cells how to behave.
metric conversion: “Had the ancestral frog of all humanity jumped 5 cm less on a certain occasion, the whole course of evolution would have been markedly changed. . . . moved about 3 km away from this locality . . .”
Section 4: The Primates
p1: metric conversion: “They attained a height of over 1.5 m, and their heads grew larger in comparison with others among the tribe.”
Section 5: The First Human Beings
p1,2: See Chuck Thurston’s study of when personality is bestowed. This is a subtopic of Abortion and resurrection of the unborn.
p5: shame See cross-reference study: Shame(ful(ly)) Lax.
Section 6: Evolution of the Human Mind
p5: See Abortion and resurrection of the unborn. See Chuck Thurston’s study of when personality is bestowed.
Section 7: Recognition as an Inhabited World
