Human Evolution (Map Game)

Blank world map.png This map game starts 2.3 Million Years Ago
Before 100,000 Years Ago, each turn is 10,000 years, after 100,000 Years Ago each turn is 1,000 years.

Once a Species goes extinct, it's out of the game. Pierod.

Feel free to make up spicies!!

2.3 million years ago
A species called the Rhoran evolve in parts of eastern OTL Africa. They look extremely identical to OTL Humans, except that they have two hearts, one located in the arm, another near the leg

2,900,000 years ago


''The first specimens of a carnivorous nomadic hominid called the Poxians appear in OTL Baltic areas., they are large with hairy bodies and resemble a grizzly bear with a gorilla's face. They feed on fatty animals like Seal and whales but also eat the leaves of pine trees.''


 * Disregard yellow area for the Fedeledi here, use for next year.

2,890,000 years ago
A new species, called the Fedeledi, appear on OTL Europe and Northern Africa. They are very successful as they have no competence for the areas.



2,880,000
An amphibious Bi-pedal mammal evolves in Oceania region. They are unable to leave moist climates, but are able to swim up to 20 mph (ONLY if straining there muscles). They bread like any other mammal species, but at an early age begin to loose MOST, not all, of their hair. They spend up to 14 hours a day in the water and do not have extremely strong legs to STAND ON, as they are unused to the weight of the being. They are called amphibi-sapians, their name being Fudalus.

2,870,000
The Rhoradian language, after several thousand years of evolution, finally takes shape. They also learn how to create and control fires and how to use stone to make simple flint-tools.

The Poxians or H. Balticus, expand south into the Balkans, The Poxians had developed spears for hunting and fire to keep themselves warm, Poxians by this time still do not cook their food and still communicate with a variety of grunts and groans.

A species of hairy, bipedal homonids called Sasquatchuan emerge in Mexico and Central America.

2,860,000


Rorans expand Northward

Poxians and Fedeledi clash in several fights

Sasquatchuan spread south into the Yucatan.

2,850,000
An Ant-like species with a symbiotic relationship with extremely energy-dense fungi appears in Argentina. because of this relationship, they are the first "agricultural" species, with the worker Formians spreading the fungi.

A small and lithe race of primates arises in the Amazon rain forest, they feed on insects and fruit and are extremely agile, they use sticks to get worms out of trees to eat, they will be called the Quiquaxil.

The Poxians form two distinct subspecies, the hairy, large and aggressive Northern Poxian and the lion-maned and fast Southern Poxian, Northern Poxians move into Fedeledi land and set up dominance, they learn to cook their food by following Fedeledi examples, they do not develop a language yet.

The Sasquatchuan develop a simple for of language and begin to learn how to create fire and cook local animals for the first time. They also begin to shrink slightly and lose some of their hair.

2,840,000
There are now several distinct castes in Formian hives. the "queen", a creature with almost no exoskeleton and about the size of a elephant, which lays about 10 eggs a day. the "drones", which mate with the queen, and are about the size of a chimpanzee. The "soldiers", which are about the size of a horse, with six legs and two powerful, crushing claws. finally, there are the "workers" the fastest, and most numerous. they are about the size of a jaguar, and have several special vents in their bodies which contains the fungi they have a symbiotic relationship with. muscles continously pump air through these vents, spreading the fungal spores.

The Sasquatchuan develop flint tools and expand largely south and north. They also begin to develop into small nomadic groups of multiple families called clans, each headed by a clan leader, their language also develops with their development into clans.

2,830,000
Thanks to the "agriculture" of the Formians, they expand south to the tip of South America, north into Brazil, and west into chile. the "Drone" caste disappears, and is replaced by a caste of "kings", which are evoloved Drones, slightly larger that soldier, each of whom controls a hareem of Queen Formians. these hareems range in size from fourty to a hundred queens. each king always has around a dozen larval "kings" in his hareem. when they mature, they fight until two or three are left, then they divide the colony in thirds and the weaker two kings are forced to found their own colony. the king formians have developed a modicum of intelligence, because survival is completely dependent on intelligence in the constant slave-taking wars between colonies.

Sasquatchuan develop into a species called Australopithecus Africanus, they shrink in size by avergae a few inches, lose some of their hair. They eventually develop a larger language which involves sentences and adjectives. The clan system expands and multiple clans join together as groups later called tribes, the average tribe size is 100 to 170 each, they also develop a warrior system and every tribe has its own small defense force, although their weapons are little more than sticks with pieces of flint tied to the top with vines.. The tribe leaders create a class of sub-leaders that control different parts of the tribes, this becomes more important as their species spreads north and south once more.

Both subspecies of Poxian expand, N. Poxians develop a language to assist in hunting, S. Poxians take on many characteristics of lions but they use advanced cornering and organisational skills to hunt.

The Quiquaxil are now seen throughout the Amazon rainforest and have developed a long "knocking appendage" on their hands to assist in finding hollow trees likely to contain insects. The first Quiquaxil also start to drop rocks on travelling animals below them to kill and then eat them.

The Rouran expand into the Arabian peninsula.

2,820,000

 * Fudalus discover how to use language by talking and some signing (a mix of the two)
 * Fudalus expand due to community development, at a tribal level. This is due to the fact that although they bread slowly that have an expected life of (includes all calculations) 40 years. The tribal communities work as a group to figure out how to solve the problems of keeping warm wile at night near the beaches, and after a lighting storm they see fire and both adore it and fear it. They use it to make small camp fires near beaches. Although this is perfect for night on the shore, they soon discover that it dose not work under water and that it eventually goes out; soon after that the groups begin to experiment with things to see what makes the fire come back, and they find that this weird extremely hard stone dose it best when knocked against each other. This 10,000 year period is also shown to have been the time where they develop large nets and some farmings techniques for fish and some (only small plants and eatable fungi) plants.


 * Roharon's develop a boat, which leads to them landing on Madagascar, but after they don't come back (cause they don't know how to fix it) a separation of species begins, with Roharon in africa and the Madagascar Roharon.
 * The Madagascar Roharon, knowing the floating object works, but not knowing how to fix it begin to develop ways to actually build more from what they have. Soon they look similar, but different to the African Roharon
 * All Species Expand
 * South & North Poxians still intermingle, but it is becoming more and more of a rarity.
 * Fedeledi and the two Poxians begin to interbred (through raids on each other or what not) with each other towered the end of this 10,000 year period.
 * An hairy, bi-pedal sapian appears in Siberian region. They bread extremely fast (pregnancy's only lasting 3 months) and are extremely aggressive, eventually balancing themselves out; also noted for having a smaller less complex brain then many of the other races and being omnivores. They expand for this period in time but begin to develop groupings for raids on opposing groups, but still have no language or even the ability to comprehend how to use a weapon. They are called icelandica ravenous sapience's or Conqorens
 * The A. Africanus evolve again into what is called later A. gerhi, this species develop permenant homes in areas with plentiful amounts of plants and wildlife, the homes are made of large sticks and logs with openings that act as doors, later the language evolves again and they develop paragraphs. They also learn that plants have things called seeds that can be planted in the ground near rivers and water that can grow into plants, this is the birth of homonid agriculture. This development of agriculture creates a population boom, by now the size of an average tribe is 600 people.



2,810,000

 * A. Garhi develop more into the north and begin to learn how to build baskets, which they use to hold plants that they have cultivated or found in the wild. Each tribe by now has its own farm, each has a small field of plants and fungi that is attended by 4 people. The warrior system also develops and officers are created to lead these new units. Their language again develops as they develop multi-paragraph language and they develop early sign language as a secondary way of communicating.
 * S. Poxians enter North Africa, N. Poxians expand to the east.
 * Formians expand in all directions, and their fungal allies evolve to produce more per acre, increasing Formian populations. the King caste develops a spoken language.
 * Rourans expand into the fertile lands of OTL Egypt and make contact with S. Poxians. They also learn how to plant crops in the ground.
 * A South Chinese Tiger evolves opposable toes. This allows them to grasp primitive tools. Over the course of the ten thousand years the streak in which this adaption occured evolves to suit their more stationary lifestyle. They shrink, as they no longer need to travel great distances. Their bodies adapt to spending more and more time on two legs. Their fur becoomes less bushy in the warmer part of the year to better cool their bodies. The end result resembles a fusion between a human and a tiger, and is about as tall as a human child even when fully grown. This species is known as the Mobians.

2,800,000
The Rourans begin domesticating animals for use as meat and pets. They also learn more efficent techniques of killing and skinning animals.
 * A. garhi tribes expand south into into OTL Panama and also begin to domesitcate animals, following this is another population boom as each tribe has about 1200 people per tribe. They also develop boats and begin to fish by hand, their soldiers also begin to weave roots into holdable patterns, these becomes the first recorded shields.
 * N. Poxians expand further east and make contact with the Conqurons, both species being powerful and ferocious animals, superior Poxian intelligence, however, shows its uses. N. Poxians finally develop a more advanced form of language.
 * S. Poxians expand further into Africa, specifically the game-rich Rouran-held savannah, S. Poxians become even more Lion like in agility and litheness. S. Poxians prove extremely successful here. S. Poxians still have no language.
 * Qhiquaxil specimens begin thieving eggs from birds nests and develop a sign language.
 * The Mobians start founding the first permanent settlements of their civilization, as they begin to use agriculture more than traditional hunting. They have begun creating a culture and language, written and spoken (simmilar to OTL Chinese). They begin expanding their reach to the north.

2,790,000
The Rhordans develop the world's earliest religion. They also develop a early social class system, divided into rulers, workers, and children.

Formian kings become more intelligent, and a caste of intelligent soldiers who can speak basic Formian, separates from the soldier caste, becoming the "commander" caste.


 * N. Poxians discover farming and begin moving more to the south and east.


 * Fedeledi populations on the Scandinavian peninsula as they are unable to compete with superior N. Poxian hunting techniques and the climate is poor for farming, however a new hybrid species of Fedeledi and N. Poxians appears on the southern tip of the Scandinavian peninsula, they combine the somewhat higher intelligence of the Fedeledi with the strength and traditions of the N. Poxians, they will be called the poeladians or Homo Sapiens Balticus.


 * African and European populations of S. Poxian begin to change from each other, S. Poxians in Europs will become more herbivorous through farming while African S. Poxians will become less intelligent and more agile and quick.

2,780,000
Fedeledi peoples get some of the farming and hunting tecniques from the N.Poxians, and adapt them to the hotter climates of Europe and Africa. That causes them to expand south significatevly. At the same time, the Fedeledi peoples get taller and stronger to hold bigger brain and bone capacities. Chromosomes become very dominants. H.Mediterraneus evolves into H.Sapiens Mediterraneus (still named Fedeledi). At the same time, agriculture makes some Fedeledi to start settling on large villages, the oldest of which is "Firenzei" on the OTL central Italian peninsula.
 * N. Poxian populations start to take over Conqoren lands being more effective in all regards to hunting and intelligence, Conqorens are dying out. N. Poxians and S. Poxians build their first purpose built weapons to kill others instead of game, tree-trunk hammers, hammers and traditional hunting spears are most popular, n. Poxians learn they can bait seals easier with fish and stealth. First fishing nets are used. Poxians now feed on fish as a mainstay.
 * African Poxians (A. Poxians) change enough to become their own subspecies, A. Poxian populations in contact with Rouran populations are seen as deities in the Rouran religion thanks to their strength and learn from the Rourans, western populations of A. Poxians become even more bestial.
 * poeladian populations expand.
 * Formians expand farther north, and invent a written language (although only the Kings can read it). the letters sent between Formian Kings are the first known form of diplomacy.

2,770,000

 * Mobians and Fudalus expand.
 * Fudalus begin to seperate into a more sea fairing version and a more land locked version. They can still interbreed, although some changes in how they look begin to appear.
 * Fudalus Population has be on a steady rise for nearly hundread thousand years. This has given them the means to develop the first ridden animal, which is a dolphin. They use this to transport everything needed to other parts of there inhabited area's. They also are able to perfect their farming techniques of both the sea and land (leanring some of it from the Mobians). With such a large population they are able to actually develop the first cities which look a lot like OTL Inca; this being the first to do so they are able to learn more about (from new High Points) astronomy how to follow the stars properly, often using them to navigate their way around while in the open ocean and begin to map them in order to get/give better directions.
 * Fudalus centralize a government in OTL Australia, this control's all of the islands but none of the main land. The more centralized government begins to move forward with planes to explore the unknown and see where the earth ends. They also develop a full religon with 6 gods (Mataloneca[fire], Wonterana[water], Ontrixena[wind], Quartaxonra[earth], Vederanzix[sun], and the brother of the sun Zederanex[night/moon]).
 * Fudalus begin to actually import slave labor from the small settlements of the Mobins by using the first ever military to attack and capture them. The Military is out fitted with bamboo shields and armor with spears and slings; the spears have the hard rocks which they give the name "Mataloneca" after their fire god of the same name, this makes their spears extremely deadly to most anything the Mobians put up. The slave labor is only used in the settlements on the main land Asia.
 * Fudalus begin to use maps to further determine where they are. When the first maps are actually given out to the mainlander's and the islander's they quickly see how good they are; they may not be accurate to a mile, but they are still good and somewhat accurate maps.
 * A. Poxians expand as well as Rhoran.
 * Rhoran begin slave labor with the A. Poxians. This back fires as some the the A.Poxians being enslaved attack back. This leads several of their villages on each side to develop more close relationship with multiple tribal leaders leading a large "nation".
 * Conqorens and the N Poxians begin to fight a lot more; this leads to the N Poxians specializing in long rang weapons as they do not wish to loose large amounts of people to the Conqoren hordes (mainly due to their extremely fast breading habits).
 * Conqorens start to single out N. Poxian and work together to fight them, now starting to form fighting groups to fight off the N. Poxian; they begin to stalemate in the since that neither can beat the other, because of either N. Proxian's intelligence in using long range weapons or because of Conqorens shier numbers.
 * Conqorens expand southward.
 * Qhiquaxil and Fomians meet in South America for the first time, by now all of South America has been stabilized between the two; now because borders are being drawn up. They also being a primitive trade language that both can understand.
 * Sasquatchuan and Qhiquaxil meet in the northern part of South America. They actually begin to use a border to separate the tribes and tribal laws.
 * Sasquatchuan expand north.

2,760,000
A new species, Canis Columbus, evolves throughout northern America. Much like a wolf, these canines have evolved exteremely thick skin, as well as a pair of vestigial eyes that see in the infared spectrum. They are about the size of a large horse, and communicate with other pack members by opening and closing small "heat vents" that give off infared detectible only by other Columbi. These packs, numbering from 60-100, have recently coalesced into a single pack numbering in the tens of thousands. They live in burrows like their ancestors; however, they have learned that by tying vines around sticks and logs, one can go great distances with little effort. Merchant fleets made of redwood rafts have discovered and set up trade with the Sasquatch. They also develop the skill of selective breeding; the strongest breed with the strongest, the smartest breed with the smartest. For weapons, Columbi use claws as well as sinews of dead animals wrapped around a large, Y-shaped stick that can propel stones great distances.

The Sasquatchuan develop their own religious system and new larger groups of tribes combine to become what is later refered to as states each having a population of 18,000 to 20,000. Also, three boats get caught in a storm off OTL Mexico and land in OTL Cuba, after word gets back to the mainland about its fertile soil, people migrate to this new island and soon a state is set up. They also develop a trade language that's used between them and the Qhiquaxil.



2,750,000

 * While other species refine their civilisations, a new intelligent species arose in OTL, Nova Scotia and New England. They were known as the Britannicari. Outstoundingly primitive in many respects especially when compared to others on the continent. A bipedal race of hardy humanoids, they were covered in thick hair and were well used to the chill climate of their home. They consumed mostly fish and for this reason were very good at making primitive flax nets. Settlements hadn't even begun to be born and the most advanced weapon was the primitive hand axe. There was a primitive langauge with little syntax or grammar. Under their thick fur was a strong layer of hardened skin which enclosed powerful muscle and blubber for the bitter winters. The teeth jooted out in irregular prong teeth, the better to catch fish with. Their hands were calloused and five fingered but the fingers were short and stubby. For now the Britannicari were peaceful except for sporadic outbreaks of fighting over fisheries between small hunting groups.
 * The Mobians develop primitive armor to defend against the invading Fundalus. They also copy the Fundalun Mataloneca and use it, to great effect. The Mobians start driving the Fundalus out of their territory.
 * The Mobians' oldest settlements have becomed walled cities to defend from the Fundalus' raids. A network of primitive roads have begun to be built between the more secure of these cities.

2,740,000

 * The Mobians, the skilled warriors that they are (despite their stature), have completely driven the Fundalus out of their lands. They begin to seize the land that the Fundalus had taken in mainland Asia. The mobian culture begins to develop more securely because of this reversal of fortune. The network of roads begins developing throughout the cities that had not been secure enough. The Mobians become unified behind the charismatic leader of a streak, who then becomes the first Mobian Emperor.

2,730,000

 * The Mobians sucessfully drive the Fundalus out of mainland Asia. The Mobian Emperor was drafting plans to invade the Fudalus' northermost territories (OTL Japan) when a Fundalan diplomat comes from their leader to offer peace. it is agreed that the mainland is no longer part of the territory of the Fudaluns, and the islands are not the territory of the Mobians.
