History

Hominid Origins

The ancestor of most modern hominids arose in the Negasi isthmus highlands and migrated outwards, spreading to Tharna and Tzareka between the years -300,000 and - 150,000 BCE.

Humans and the Wolgosid Hominins trace their lineage to Homo Sapiens Negasi, a Hominid that shares much of their physiology and intellectual capacity with modern humans. Homo Negasi arose in the Negasi highlands and shared southern Tharna by the year -300,000 BCE with Homo Ra'ed. Homo Ra'ed shared a common ancestor with Homo Negasi, from who they diverged half a million years ago; the ancestor is now known as Homo Prehensor. Homo Negasi is, in fact, Homo Sapiens Sapiens, and the distinction is used to refer to Humans before the Wolgosids diverged from their common lineage.

Homo Negasi was a highly successful Hominin that competed and pushed Homo Ra'ed from their range, leading to the exile of Homo Ra'ed towards Davai and eventually into Altaia as Homo Negasi and later Humans expanded across the globe. Homo Ra'ed is the direct ancestor of the modern Homo Kegawaiensis.

By the year -150,000 Homo Negasi had colonised most of southern Tharna and Northern Tzeraka and was already branching beyond their extended range by following the coasts and fertile lands of the continents.

Pre-Calidus

The Pre-Calidus Era lasted around four thousand years, beginning the centuries around 16,000 years ago. An era where the climate around Gotha experienced little climatic variability due to lower Tyreal cycle celestial interactions. The climate around gotha, despite being cooler than today's, was hospitable to the development of culture, and most of Gotha hosted biomes with bountiful resources for hominid cultures.

Most cultures moved away from rough, uncrafted stone tools and sticks to highly ingenious chipped and sanded stoned tools, utilising polishing techniques and plant resins to create composite materials and artefacts such as stone-tipped spears and arrows. The advent of twine, rope and weaving led to more dynamic cultures and tools that enabled a much greater number of hominids to survive.

Art and tools flourished. Sun-dried pottery, cave paintings, stone and wood carvings displaying a large and wide range of motifs were created across the globe. Art that depicts increasingly complex cultures and belief systems such as mythologies and creation myths, culture preserved through oral tradition and other performance arts as writing had yet to be developed.

Some mysterious possible constructs and possible artefacts from this era point to maybe civilisation dating to this era. But to date, most of these signs lack definitive evidence to suggest with certainty the existence of long-lost civilisations.
