2nd conscept for the stone age fantasy setting

Coexisting hominin species is one of the things that make prehistory so suited for fantasy imo

They are inspired by Homo Sapiens, Neanderthal/Denisovan and Homo Floresiensis but the last 2 are very different from their inspirations

There aren't a lot of fantasy settings based on prehistoric stuff these days. I'll make some conscepts for one as an exercise.

Basically non-avian dinosaurs survived to coexist with hominins and there is magic.

What do we know about the earliest hominins to exist?

A story spanning one million years and counting, we're discovering more about how we came to be human.

Imagine trying to sleep in the dark Plio-Pleistocene nights, knowing unseen, silent monsters were prowling about, potentially looking for you :B Dinofelis is popularly imagined as a primate predator, but at least one study found Megantereon was a more frequent hominin hunter.

And don´t forget there's also a hominin skull from Dmanisi, Georgia, that shows bite marks of a sabercat, likely a Megantereon. https://t.co/ZXchHKQ4v9

A variety of giant "tortoises" shared the planet with humans and other hominins during the Pleistocene and Holocene. Compare their size and discover where they lived with this amazing poster.

África fue uno de los lugares clave en este proceso de aridificación, puesto que contaba con muchas especies de homininos (si bien también había Europa y Asia).

Gran parte de las selvas dieron lugar a pastizales abiertos con vegetación dispersa.

In the Rift Valley, where the Kerio flows into Lake Lonyumun, the Pliocene ancestors and cousins of today's East African fauna gather in great numbers. Among them, early hominins, at the headwaters of the river of humanity.
