Heres a slightly more fun explanation from "Myriad Worlds" - Tibetans have a

better imagination.

 

"The genesis of humans on this continent occured when a god in the heaven of

Clear Light died and took miraculous birth here. A second, then a third

followed and their numbers increased progressively until there were many,

all of whom took miraculous birth here like the first. All could travel

through space, had radiant bodies, and were sustained by the nourishment of

meditative concentration, like gods in the form realm.

 

Later, a white earth-nectar that tasted like honey appeared. Eating

copiously of this, (nicer than that apple) they began to crave it.

Consequently, the nourishment of meditative concentration and other

qualities, including miraculaous powers and even the earth-nectar itself,

disappeared. Then appeared a creamy orange earth-food, and they ate that.

Because they began to crave it, both the food and the radiance of their

bodies gradually deteriorated. At that point, due to the forces of

collective evolutionary actions and the natural laws of existence, the sun

and the moon began to illuminate the world. In the same way, the other

earth-nectars as well as fields of sprouts appeared and disappeared.

Subsequently, fields of huskless sali rice grew, reaped in the morning the

crop could grow again in the evening. Digestion of this rice produced

bodily wastes such as feces and urine.

 

Eating these coarse foods caused male and female genitals to appear.

Gradually, opposite genders became attracted to each other and engaged in

sexual intercourse. Others reviled and threw mud at them, whereupon they

became ashamed; regarding their sexual activity as being in appropriate,

they abandoned it for periods of up to seven days. Some of the most

depraved individuals constructed houses in order to protect themselves from

the embarrassment of being observed while copulating.

 

More on various growing of crops, land being then being apportioned and

people beginning to steal from each other, disputes breaking out. Then, to

prevent this they voted in the first king but then people began to violate

the kings laws and so capital punishment was instituted -then plagues, war

and famine.

 

And so on - must be a moral to this tale.
