  Genesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Genesis (Greek: Γένεσις, having the meanings of "birth", "creation", "cause", "beginning", "source" and "origin"), also called The First Book of Moses, is the first book of Torah (five books of Moses), and is the first book of the Tanakh, part of the Hebrew Bible; it is also the first book of the Christian Old Testament.
Genesis as a completed book makes no claims about its authorship; it is an article of Jewish faith that the book was dictated, in its entirety, by God to Moses on Mount Sinai.
Other scholars note that when Genesis was compiled, it was made up of earlier documents which were so little changed that even their literary tradition, which put the author's name at the end of each document, was preserved, thus preserving also the authors' true identities.

Unfortunately the task of not contradicting his original story written 11 years before proved to be an impossible one, and “Genesis of the Daleks” does indeed change several of the points that were established in “The Daleks.” One of the more obvious was the changing of the Daleks original species name from Dal to Kaled.
Another was allowing the Daleks total mobility upon the Skardoian surface where it was first established that they could originally move only along the metal floors of their cities (drawing power from the floor).
As the Dalek enters the Doctor mentions to Harry, "a Dalek, primitive, but unmistakably a Dalek." The problem is that this "primitive Dalek" is a standard gray model (one of three the BBC used for shooting) complete with shoulder slats, rounded dome lights and an irs in the middle of the eye-stalk.

Likewise, the head of the Dalek operator during the destruction of the Thal city in episode four.
