Three Ancestors

The three ancestors are Abraham, Manu, and the Yellow Emperor. They are ancestors of all of humanity and may be used as a successor to the Five Ancestors doctrine.

All lived in a similar time period

Cyclical repitition of the ancestors through history is less possible though making using evolutionary history with the doctrine unlikely

Old Article
The Five Ancestors is a deprecated doctrine of five ancestors of humanity

While intended to promote the unity of humanity, it proved unwieldy and overly complicated to incorporate with other doctrines. It was moved from Five ancestors to seven ancestors to coincide with the Seven Plagues but with the increase in the number to Nine Plagues based on the one prime rule it became too unwieldy to continue using\

The three ancestors is a possible successor doctrine but with some elements less preferable
