Still making things up I see. What 112 mothers? You posted no quote about the death of any mothers. And there were no 112 deaths of any babies either. 112 children born did not live long enough to have children of their own...nothing at all to do with infant mortality. 6% of the 1,682 children born failed to survive "to maturity"...a seemingly common ratio I believe....even in the early 20th century....simple infections killed many children and teens prior to penicillin and inoculation, not to mention the accidents of time and dangers of hunting and farming and predators and war.
Good Grief. 
76:4.8 (851.6) After becoming established in the second garden on the Euphrates, Adam elected to leave behind as much of his life plasm as possible to benefit the world after his death. Accordingly, Eve was made the head of a commission of twelve on race improvement, and before Adam died this commission had selected 1,682 of the highest type of women on Urantia, and these women were impregnated with the Adamic life plasm. Their children all grew up to maturity except 112, so that the world, in this way, was benefited by the addition of 1,570 superior men and women. Though these candidate mothers were selected from all the surrounding tribes and represented most of the races on earth, the majority were chosen from the highest strains of the Nodites, and they constituted the early beginnings of the mighty Andite race. These children were born and reared in the tribal surroundings of their respective mothers.
Stephen says above: "Because the genetic difference between Nod and the Sangik peoples was expansive, as was the difference between Adam and even the most intelligent or physically capable women of Urantia during his own times. You, Bradly, are referring to something else: mortality rates when genetic similarity is very high."
But these women are NOT Andonite or Sangik, either one!! They are Nodite women. And where does it say or even imply that "painful" childbirth also increases mortality risks for either babies or mothers??? Where does it say that??? There is not a single iota of text or other information which infers or suggests that "mortality rates" are any different between the two groups - whether "genetic similarity is very high" or if aboriginal stock is admixed with Violet stock or with the Prince's staff.
Where is it written that the Nodites suffered increased infant or maternal mortality?????!!!! Good Grief.
The Andites are the most resilient and progressive genetic race in Urantia's history...the fully admixed races of evolution on Urantia!! The best of the best...not the weakest by ANY definition or speculation or accusation!!
So...what was the actual result of Adam's decision here? Consider:
78:4.1 (871.7) The Andite races were the primary blends of the pure-line violet race and the Nodites plus the evolutionary peoples. In general, Andites should be thought of as having a far greater percentage of Adamic blood than the modern races. In the main, the term Andite is used to designate those peoples whose racial inheritance was from one-eighth to one-sixth violet. Modern Urantians, even the northern white races, contain much less than this percentage of the blood of Adam.
78:4.2 (871. The earliest Andite peoples took origin in the regions adjacent to Mesopotamia more than twenty-five thousand years ago and consisted of a blend of the Adamites and Nodites. The second garden was surrounded by concentric circles of diminishing violet blood, and it was on the periphery of this racial melting pot that the Andite race was born. Later on, when the migrating Adamites and Nodites entered the then fertile regions of Turkestan, they soon blended with the superior inhabitants, and the resultant race mixture extended the Andite type northward.
78:4.3 (872.1) The Andites were the best all-round human stock to appear on Urantia since the days of the pure-line violet peoples. They embraced most of the highest types of the surviving remnants of the Adamite and Nodite races and, later, some of the best strains of the yellow, blue, and green men.
