Early life consists mainly of Gaia's spawn and said spawn's spawn, and so on. Due to the way Deity "genetics" work, they ended up being ridiculously diverse, each subsequent generation straying further from Gaia's visage, as well as diminishing deitic status. My original idea was that these generations eventually crossed over into mortality, though the amendment could be made that they all kept their immortality throughout. Perhaps some of the figurines were even made in the image of some of these primordial beings, if not the deities from the first few generations.

(As a sidenote, Chaos and Chronos did have their own spawn, the former's eventually descending into today's born demons and the latter's into today's born angels, but nowhere near as much as Gaia.)
