RSV
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
Cited here with 1 Corinthians 15:49 in relation to all humans, including prehistoric ones, being made in the likeness of God: this process is progressive (we are being changed . . . ) — thus "being created in the image of God does not necessarily preclude a progressive maturity to get to that image".
