There was nothing exceptional observed in their succeeding expeditions until the year 50,000 BC. The Ice Age was at its peak. The polar caps had expanded and left a narrow band of greenery north and south of Earth’s equator. Constricted to this narrow space of snowless land, the existence of herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores was hard and harsh. Survival of the fittest became the norm. It was in this epoch that hominids evolved to homo sapiens at its early stage and had become hunter-gatherers. Much to Nengut’s distaste, they were savage and brutal creatures but realized the harshness of their existence forced them to adapt to their environment or die out. With other predators, far larger, faster, and more agile, these semi-minded creatures could only survive their world through their only edge, their wits. They were far more cunning in hunting, and unified and organized when threatened. Though primitive, they irreversibly headed towards higher intelligence and close to their time constrain.
