Theory and Analysis:Angels' Origins

This is an extended analysis article which is a special extension from both Episode 10 and the main Angels article.

The series only vaguely discusses where Angels actually "come from". The Seeds of Life Adam and Lilith both landed on Earth after being seeded across space by the God-like progenitor aliens known as the "First Ancestral Race" four billion years ago. The Third through Seventeenth Angels are the "children of Adam". Humans ultimately derive from Lilith, hence the name "Lilim" applied to them by Kaworu Nagisa, the last Angel.
