Zoe was the 1st ever downloaded human-cylon?

So Zoe is the 1st downloaded human into cylon in opposition to the classic cylon to cylon downloads that we see later in BSG?
The MCP chip + Daniel Graystone holoband + Zoe's avatar and mods of Vclub = ''resurrection technology'' right?
Of course they couldn't download Zoe into a body as much advanced as the cylons of the 13th tribe, but what's crazy is that it took only 3 good human brains to create this download of spirit thingy while brother Cavil who pretends himself superior in intelligence to humans did a bloody civil war to get this technology.
Also when Cavil was complaining that he was too limited by his human body and wanted an advanced super robot one that can go way beyond human bodies, he could have used the Graystone findings and build a super enhanced centurion model to download in it ;)

Yup, you got it right. Zoe was the prototype "skinjob".

But something is wrong, in Blood and Chrome and BSG we understand that the Caprica cylons didn't have the knowledge to build skinjobs, they had to wait for the arrival of the final 5, but in the Caprica series in the last episode we see Zoe resurrected exactly like the skinjobs in BSG, Daniel Graystone was behind the technology and not the final 5 :/

I think the Graystones kept their technology secret. No one other than them, and perhaps a couple trusted insiders, would have known about the new Zoe.

I would say Zoe's program instead of the avatar. The avatar was a product of the program, but it was the program that allowed for the creator of the realistic avatars.

As for Cavil, when the Final Five reached the Colonies, they didn't have much contact with the Colonials, did they? I thought they contacted the rebellious Cylons and convinced them to stop the first Cylon War. (It's been a while since I've seen all the episodes, so I may not have all the details correct. I did re-watch BSG S4 this year.)

I think the Graystones were supposed to have kept their own resurrection technology secret. I read that the Colonials of the BSG era would not have known about the revived Zoe Graystone.
