"Lilim" is the term that the Angel Kaworu Nagisa uses to refer to Mankind, because they are 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. The Angels are the progeny of Adam, while 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, through an indirect path, the progenitor of humanity.

As both Adam and Lilith are "Seeds of Life" created by the First Ancestral Race, and Angels come from Adam, humans could thus in a sense be considered the "18th Angel". However, strictly defined "Angels" are the offspring of Adam: they benefited from the "Tree of Life" (their awesome strength and power), while humans benefited from the "Tree of Knowledge" (possessing intelligence and mastery of science). Thus, humans and Angels are still fundamentally different. Still, the revelation that humans come from Lilith, as Angels come from Adam, demonstrates that Angels are no more "alien" to Earth than humans are, both ultimately being created by the First Ancestral Race.
