I believe the answer is:

primal

(Other definitions for primal that I've seen before include "Relating to an early stage of evolution" , "Having existed from the beginning" , "Of an early stage of development" , "Original or primitive" , "Original, fundamental" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the Universal.
