Sangik family

64:5.2And now, among these high­land Ba­don­ites there was a new and strange oc­cur­rence. A man and woman liv­ing in the north­east­ern part of the then in­hab­ited high­land re­gion be­gan sud­denly to pro­duce a fam­ily of un­usu­ally in­tel­li­gent chil­dren. This was the San­gik fam­ily, the an­ces­tors of all of the six col­ored races of Uran­tia.

64:5.3These San­gik chil­dren, nine­teen in num­ber, were not only in­tel­li­gent above their fel­lows, but their skins man­i­fested a unique ten­dency to turn var­i­ous col­ors upon ex­po­sure to sun­light. Among these nine­teen chil­dren were five red, two or­ange, four yel­low, two green, four blue, and two in­digo. These col­ors be­came more pro­nounced as the chil­dren grew older, and when these youths later mated with their fel­low tribes­men, all of their off­spring tended to­ward the skin color of the San­gik par­ent.

65:4.7There were many unique fea­tures of the Uran­tia life ex­per­i­ment, but the two out­stand­ing episodes were the ap­pear­ance of the An­donic race prior to the evo­lu­tion of the six col­ored peo­ples and the later si­mul­ta­ne­ous ap­pear­ance of the San­gik mu­tants in a sin­gle fam­ily. Uran­tia is the first world in Sa­ta­nia where the six col­ored races sprang from the same hu­man fam­ily. They or­di­nar­ily arise in di­ver­si­fied strains from in­de­pen­dent mu­ta­tions within the pre­hu­man an­i­mal stock and usu­ally ap­pear on earth one at a time and suc­ces­sively over long pe­ri­ods of time, be­gin­ning with the red man and pass­ing on down through the col­ors to in­digo.

61:7.4500,000 years ago, dur­ing the fifth ad­vance of the ice, a new de­vel­op­ment ac­cel­er­ated the course of hu­man evo­lu­tion. Sud­denly and in one gen­er­a­tion the six col­ored races mu­tated from the abo­rig­i­nal hu­man stock. This is a dou­bly im­por­tant date since it also marks the ar­rival of the Plan­e­tary Prince.

66:0.1The ad­vent of a La­non­an­dek Son on an av­er­age world sig­ni­fies that will, the abil­ity to choose the path of eter­nal sur­vival, has de­vel­oped in the mind of prim­i­tive man. But on Uran­tia the Plan­e­tary Prince ar­rived al­most half a mil­lion years af­ter the ap­pear­ance of hu­man will.

66:0.2About five hun­dred thou­sand years ago and con­cur­rent with the ap­pear­ance of the six col­ored or San­gik races, Cali­gas­tia, the Plan­e­tary Prince, ar­rived on Uran­tia. There were al­most one-half bil­lion prim­i­tive hu­man be­ings on earth at the time of the Prince’s ar­rival, and they were well scat­tered over Eu­rope, Asia, and Africa. The Prince’s head­quar­ters, es­tab­lished in Mes­o­po­ta­mia, was at about the cen­ter of world pop­u­la­tion.
