on Almea there are humans in all the continents. Like on the earth, the various races don't look so different. On the Earth that's because they derive from a single race (protosapiens) in Africa, that migrated in Asia and Europe and then from Asia to America and Australia.
And on Almea? Where the ancestor of the human races was born?
Mark, have you got a theory similar to our "drift of continents"?

Humans on Almea
Have you read this? It is of some help.
Somewhere in the old Board logs there's a discussion of how ALmea's plates fit together, but I don't know how accurate it is anymore.

What about the Greeks who accidentally came over? Did any of them have any children with the "natives"? From my understanding, that was many centuries ago, and there were hardly enough of them to start a new subspecies or anything that would have any effect today, but I'm kind of curious whether they did have any children. Would that even be genetically possible? Would those children have been able to have children, or would it have been like mules, who are infertile? An odd subject indeed.

No, humans and uesti can't interbreed. Says so in the Historical Atlas.GreenBowTie wrote:What about the Greeks who accidentally came over? Did any of them have any children with the "natives"?

http://www.zompist.com/atlas/index.html (year 2958)Terrestrial and Almean humans, despite their great similarities, are not interfertile; the marriages of the Elenicoi and the locals were barren.
So take this body at sunset to the great stream whose pulses start in the blue hills, and let these ashes drift from the Long Bridge where only a late gull breaks that deep and populous grave.
There's some missing logic here.Piero Lo Monaco wrote:So, the other continents have been colonized after the civilization in Erel?ezompist wrote:Almean humans did develop in one continent...
We don't know which continent the humans originated on; and spreading to other continents doesn't require civilization. This spreading must have occurred well before the period covered by the Historical Atlas. Some hint of it is preserved in the Count of Years (though the Cuzeian ideas on the homeland being just west of Cuzei should be discounted).
