More about human evolution ...
"Primitive man — the Andonites — had black eyes and a swarthy complexion, something of a cross between yellow and red. Melanin is a coloring substance which is found in the skins of all human beings. It is the original Andonic skin pigment." (63:4.1)
"These 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." (64:5.3)
Subtle emphasis that sunlight exposure caused the variation in skin coloring ... but discovery of ancient human skin is very rare - just the DNA in bones ... and suggesting that ancient DNA would not necessarily reveal the original Sangik colors (ROYGBI).
Homo Erectus were the first humans - not Homo Sapiens ...

"Homo erectus was much smarter than previous hominins, being the first species to use fire and may have been the first
to live in hunter-gather groups. They made stone tools in a style called the Acheulian, characterised by distinctive hand axes."

Apparently, Andon and Fonta (first humans, discovered fire) are classified as "Homo Erectus" ... and suggesting that DNA research of human evolution should begin with this migration.
"These early Andonites evinced a very marked clannish spirit; they hunted in groups and never strayed very far from the homesite." (63:3.3)
"As Andon had invented the stone ax, so his descendants early discovered and made effective use of the throwing stick and the harpoon. At last a tool-creating mind was functioning in conjunction with an implement-using hand, and these early humans became highly skillful in the fashioning of flint tools." (63:5.6)
Interestingly, modern DNA research is beginning to doubt Africa as the origin of Homo Erectus:
Re:

"H. erectus most likely originated in Africa, though Eurasia cannot be ruled out. Regardless of where it first evolved, the species seems to have dispersed quickly, starting about 1.9 million years ago (mya) near the middle of the Pleistocene Epoch, moving through the African tropics, Europe, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. ... H. erectus was a human of medium stature that walked upright. The braincase was low, the forehead was receded, and the nose, jaws, and palate were wide. The brain was smaller and the teeth larger than in modern humans. H. erectus appears to have been the first human species to control fire, some 1,000,000 years ago. "

"However, since Homo erectus pops up more or less around the same time in East Africa and Eurasia, there is a chance that their origins lay in Eurasia instead - this could help explain the presence of Homo floresiensis in Indonesia, which has erectus-like traits. Either way, they spread very rapidly across the globe."
Dispersion of the Sangik races into Europe, Africa, Asia ...
"Between the times of the Planetary Prince and Adam, India became the home of the most cosmopolitan population ever to be found on the face of the earth. But it was unfortunate that this mixture came to contain so much of the green, orange, and indigo races. These secondary Sangik peoples found existence more easy and agreeable in the southlands, and many of them subsequently migrated to Africa. The primary Sangik peoples, the superior races, avoided the tropics, the red man going northeast to Asia, closely followed by the yellow man, while the blue race moved northwest into Europe." (64:7.3)
"The red men early began to migrate to the northeast, on the heels of the retreating ice, passing around the highlands of India and occupying all of northeastern Asia. They were closely followed by the yellow tribes, who subsequently drove them out of Asia into North America." (64:7.4)
