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.
The General Great Ape HAM, the first hominin to break the atmosphere of Earth, continued his training, and was awarded the medal of honor, becoming a passionate and entrepreneurial leader in Space programs for young apes. @BAPESCLAN Space Bapes launches soon. 3...2... #SpaceBapes
Congratulations to Svante Pääbo, my PhD supervisor, for his #NobelPrize “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution” @MPI_EVA_Leipzig
Geneticist Svante Pääb has
been awarded a Nobel prize
for his work on evolutionary
genetics (3 October 2022):
Pääbo discovered a
completely new hominin
entirely [the Denisovans]
by analyzing & comparing
Neanderthal genome sequences.
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.

i really hope amber's new jacket ends up being a boon and not some weird cursed hominine artifact because the moment they started talking about gold epaulets i immediately thought of RGU. let the lesbians win griffin
