Name Feature
CavemanPopulation Caveman Known as the first evolution of mankind, uses rudimentary tools made with stone, copper, iron, use fire as energy resources to cook and keep warm.
HumanPopulation Human The modern human. They are characterized by an erect posture and bipedal locomotion; manual dexterity and increased tool use, compared to other animals; and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies.
ProstheticmanPopulation Prostheticman A species that can control all of the energy from their home planet and thus relies on fully renewable energy. They start colonizing planets to acquire energy and material.
