Andon and Fonta - The First Human Beings

Continuing in our series of history-focused podcasts, this episode tells the story of Andon and Fonta, the first two human beings. Their story — and our story — really begins with the initial Life Carrier implantation of life on this world. The breaking up of the singular continental land mass of those long-ago days provided the sheltered bays and shallow inland seas that were ideal for the early emergence of marine life. Life evolution over hundreds of millions of years finally culminated in a series of animal mutations that produced the tribe of primates wherein the first two humans, a pair of twins, were born about 1,000,000 years ago. Urantia was then registered as an inhabited world. The story of Andon and Fonta is not only fascinating and truly remarkable, it is also highly endearing. From their early decisions to “live with and for each other” (62:5.8) and to flee from their animal ancestors, to their discovery of how to create fire and thereby survive in a northern climate, to their development of an early language and other creative adaptations, their courage, resilience, and love for each other were an exhibition of the highest traits of character that we associate with being human. Their numerous offspring were the beginning of the Andonite race, which eventually dispersed and migrated to distant lands, both to the west and the east of their original homeland, which was located in a now-submerged region, west of India. A superior tribe in the east included the family that gave birth to the colored races, which occurred simultaneously with the arrival of Caligastia, Urantia’s Planetary Prince, about 500,000 years ago. We’ll pick up the story of the colored races and the fate of Caligastia in future episodes. -CT
