HUMANS

 The end-point of the mammal lineage, it would seem, was humans.  Of course, in the theory given here humans appear to be the goal of all creation and evolution and this may be the case, but then can even God see to the end of time?  The first humanoid creature was born from a specially bred neotenous ape after going through many generations of selective breeding.  Neoteny is a process, which leads to an organism reaching reproductive capacity in its juvenile form.  The first male and female humanoids were born from a neotenous ape family about 4 million years ago.  As with all mammals fertilization of the female egg occurs within the uterus, therefore it was difficult for the angels to introduce changes to the genome.  The angels used selective breeding to produce some beginning changes toward a new species.  Then in some cases, the angels could use certain specially prepared viruses to introduce changes into the germ cells of a specially selected male and/or female.  Their most powerful creative change technique involved catching the selected female just after fertilization, making a sleep fall upon her, removing the fertilized egg, introducing new genetic material, and then replacing the modified egg for gestation.  In such cases, the modified babies were significantly different from the parents and the angels needed to protect and nurture the young until they successfully mated and produced the second generation.

Actually, it took many different intermediate humanoids before an acceptable man and woman were developed.  Even with angel molecular engineers making the changes in the ape genome, it was necessary to proceed in small developmental steps.  Developing the central nervous system “programs” and neural connections as well as the physical changes required allowing upright walking was a task of immense difficulty. 

The first primitive humanoid may have been Ardipithecus ramisdus and then there were 11 other primitive humanoids, each more refined than the previous.  The final physical changes were made through a series of four different humanoid Homo species leading to Homo sapiens sapiens

The introduction and integration of the spirit body with the physical body was the last step in the creation of human beings.  One interesting aspect of the first two humans (of course it was always necessary with introduction of any new species that a male and female were born in the same generation) is that because these were the first creatures to possess self-awareness and their “parents” did not, angels had to function as surrogate parents and teachers.  In addition, since there were no female angels the first humans had no surrogate mother.
