Three years after Earth Online arrived, the entire world was dragged into a death game with national destiny at stake.
Each country randomly selects a civilization observer, who chooses a species from ancient times to “observe.” If the species survives, the country prospers. If it goes extinct, a natural disaster strikes, and the observer is immediately eliminated.
Three rounds have passed, and the global win rate is zero.
Saber-toothed tigers, mammoths, saber-toothed beasts… every apex predator once entrusted with high hopes has fallen before the iron laws of evolution, while dozens of countries have been reduced to ruins by natural disasters.
Song Yu, an unremarkable high school senior, unexpectedly transmigrates to this parallel world, where survival is uncertain from one day to the next.
He soon discovers that this world knows almost nothing about history or biology. Nobody knows how the dinosaurs went extinct or where humans came from. Even the basic fact that “humans evolved from ancient apes” is dismissed as pure fantasy. When the next round’s preview is announced, naming “the rate of brain-capacity evolution” as its core evaluation metric, Song Yu is shaken to the core.
As a history enthusiast in his previous life, he knows that one species set out on an irreversible evolutionary expressway four million years ago: Australopithecus, the common ancestor of all humanity.
Weak and helpless, surrounded by natural predators, it still possessed a weapon no other species had: a brain capable of thought.
While experts around the world frantically research which beast to choose, Song Yu has already settled on the only answer: choose humanity’s own ancestor and follow the evolutionary path to Homo sapiens!
The writing is quite good, but there are flaws. [Check carefully] Ancient biology should have started from a matriarchal society. For example, elephants always have females as leaders. Many animal groups are matriarchal societies. Humans should have been the same in the beginning, right? When the bones of General Fuhao were discovered, she was even taller than the male 🤦 I always felt that a matrilineal society should be a matrilineal society, rather than a male being the leader. Like Nuwa, it was a matrilineal society, and a patrilineal society should have started with Yao, Shun, and Yu.
Give it five stars. The subject matter is very novel, and it also describes the path of humankind. However, there are a lot of repetitive parts in the middle. I don't know if it's due to the layout. In addition, in the middle of the plot, the protagonist group only performs the same actions: notebook, sitting up, drinking water [currently in the process of drafting]
I watched the manga and it was quite good. I hope the manga will release a second season soon. It will make it more interesting to watch with the pictures, but the original text is very good.
The process of evolution is cruel and full of tragedy. We pay tribute to our ancestors.
When did the author and this wolf come to seek refuge with us and the later spear thrower. @ Oh, by the way, shouldn't the author have some choice of plants? I remember your Uncle Ginkgo. It has destroyed all its rivals and its own propaganda. @
It's good-looking, I was attracted to it from the comic series
So pretty, so pretty
At least you can learn something about how to evolve from apes to humans.
A new track, highly recommended.
That's awesome, the ape god is invincible!
