The word "Newtype" first came into being in the Universal Century (UC) timeline of Gundam when Zeon Zum Daikun, the founder of the space colony-based Principality of Zeon, created his philosophy that mankind was destined to leave the Earth for space, where they would evolve into a new stage of evolution called the Newtype.
The final word on the matter said in the UC timeline was in the manga, Crossbone Gundam, where the Newtype hero Tobia Arronax explicitly refutes the idea that he is of any higher evolution than any other ordinary human.
