"Lilin" (リリン Hebrew: לילין) is the term that the Angel Kaworu Nagisa uses to refer to Mankind, because it is the progeny of Lilith.
An ancient race of progenitor aliens termed the "First Ancestral Race" seeded life throughout the galaxy billions of years ago by spreading beings known as "seeds of life" to many worlds. Although they were never meant to co-exist, billions of years ago Lilith landed on Earth some time after Adam did. When Lilith arrived she spread the primordial ooze, LCL (actually, Lilith's own blood) which eventually evolved into the first single-celled life on Earth and ultimately, Homo sapiens. Thus Lilith is the direct progenitor of humanity.
Mankind received from Lilith the "fruit of Knowledge" as opposed to the Angels who benefited from the "Fruit of Life" (the S² Engine, the source of their power and regenerative capabilities). Thus, humans and Angels are incompatable. Still, as Adam came here first, Adam and Lilith were both created by the First Ancestral Race, Angels are no more "alien" to Earth than are humans.
Notes
- A Romanized rendition of リリン (Ririn) is not provided in the show or known from any official sources. Discrepancies exist in the localizations, since ADV (TV series) render it as "Lilim", whereas Manga Entertainment use "Lilin". Rebuild, although a separate canon from the TV series, uses "Lilin" in the first movie's preview for Eva 2.0, and so should be considered the "official word" on the matter.
