Orin Gunner

Orin Gunner is a freshman majoring in Business.

## Personality

Orin is charismatic, ambitious, and manipulative by nature. He can also be suspicious, but in some ways that’s just a symptom of his keen eyes—he sees everything, and he’s resourceful about it. Trust is a pricey commodity, and Orin rarely wastes his time with it. His greatest fear is his fear of failure, which is why he’s a perfectionist in everything he does. He’s fiercely independent and generally is able to accomplish anything he sets his mind to. On the dark side, he’s known for his ability to hold a grudge; he rarely forgives and forgets. Aside from his perfectionism and everything that extends to, he’s well-liked and enjoys a damn good party.

## Connections

Cherie Holland: Orin's girlfriend.
Yondu Udonta

**Yondu** is a character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and *The Hobbit Crossover Series*. After kidnapping Peter Quill, Yondu became the boy's adoptive father in order to protect him from his birth father.

## Family/Relationships

* **Peter Quill / Star-Lord**(adoptive son)
* **Kraglin** (first mate)
* **Multiple other ex-girlfriends**
Regan Crawford

Reagan Crawford is a senior majoring in Business.

## Personality

Reagan is a stone-cold bitch, but a very intelligent one. The only thing sharper than her tongue is her wit, and the combination of the two are enough to keep students and professors alike from crossing her. Keen and manipulative, she is definitely not above using people to get what she wants - if the ends justify the means, why not? So what if you have to burn a few bridges on your journey to the top?

And at the top is where Reagan is sitting pretty. She's a co-captain of the 5 time national champion Monarchs cheerleading squad, completing a competitive internship with the multi-million dollar corporation Landgraab Industries, and on track to graduate as valedictorian from Simnation's most elite university. She's come a very long way from her humble beginnings as a first-generation college student from a Del Sol Valley trailer park - not that that's something she ever talks about. Reagan's background is a mystery to everyone except her ex-boyfriend Bryce Walker and her cheerleading co-captain Honor Aruna.

## Connections

**Bryce Walker (ex-fiance):** Bryce and Reagan dated for all of sophomore and most of junior year - they were the IT couple that everyone was sure were headed straight down the aisle after graduation. After Bryce got to meet the family Reagan worked so hard to keep separate from her school life, he proposed over winter break (Reagan's Simstagram ring post got over 2,000 likes!) Their break up happened just before spring break that same year and was the talk of campus for months, especially since neither Bryce nor Reagan would come clean about what happened to end their relationship. Now the two seniors are barely civil (and only because their positions as captains of the football and cheerleading squad require them to be.) However, campus gossips have noted that neither half of Windenburg's favorite ex-couple seems to have moved on...

**Cheryl "Cherie" Holland (protege):** Taking Cherie under her wing may have started out as a ploy to get closer to her older brother Julian, but Reagan seems to have taken a liking to the freshman cheerleader. There's definitely potential beneath those sweet doe eyes.

**Julian Holland (crush):** Reagan views a potential relationship between herself and Julian as an alliance.- as future valedictorian and Student Body President, they would make a formidable couple.
Isabella Morris

Isabella "Bella" Morris is a freshman majoring in Science.

## Personality

Maybe the only thing Bella inherited from her ex-teen beauty queen mother is her perfectionism - she continually strives to be better than the best, though her interests are far more scholastic than Stacey Morris' ever were. She has more focus in her pinky finger than most students her age have in their entire bodies, which certainly contributes to her flawless 4.0 GPA, extensive list of honors and awards, and the full-ride scholarship that took her from a dingy two-room apartment building in San Myshuno to the hallowed halls of the most prestigious university in Simnation.

However, all of this can be incredibly emotionally draining for Bella. Her sky-high personal goals take precedence over any type of social life, which removes her from the world quite a bit. She finds isolation to be a more favorable state when she's studying, but tends to feel awkward and lonely on the rare occasions that she's not. Her anxiety and extreme shyness makes it difficult for her to make and maintain friendships - most of her "friends" are classmates and study partners bordering on rivals who compete for teacher recommendations, TA research positions, and the best grades in the class.

Bella can almost always be found in the library, and if not there, the re

## Connections

**Kasey Klemmon (friend/crush):** Kasey is perhaps Bella's one true friend at WU, which is probably why Bella has such a huge crush on him.

**Julie Goldwater** **(classmate/frenemy)**: Bella and Julie aren't so much friends as they are friendly rivals.

**Cherie Holland** **(roommate):** Cherie is the daughter Bella's mom always dreamed of having. Bella secretly hopes that some of Cherie's popularity might rub off on her.

## Trivia

* Bella is a huge Pufferhead and a proud member of Owlenmoon House.
* Her dream is to one day become a surgeon in the medical career track.
* She completes a medical research internship in Selvadorada during the Summer semester before Senior year, where she meets Milagros Lugo.

Clan Septik

Clan Septik is a Skaven Clan that branched off from the Pestilens Clan during the First Skaven Civil War. They are known for spreading plague and disease throughout the world. Though they are sent into battles where it is expected they will have many casualties, often they come out in large numbers which lead other clans to believe they are favoured by the Horned Rat. The warriors of Clan Septik where white robes which are usually stained black and brown after a few hours of use. This clan use weapons corroded with rust and smothered in disease. The claw of plague is a symbol often used to refer to Clan Spetik.

The elite warriors of Clan Septik are called Plague Knights and are given the rustiest weapons which seemingly never break or become blunt.

Cadillac Cien

## Cadillac Cien Concept

The 750 BHP Concept Monster

The **Cadillac Cien** is a 2-door rear mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive high performance concept car created by Cadillac, designed by Simon Cox, and unveiled at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show to celebrate Cadillac's 100th anniversary ("cien" is Spanish for one hundred, which compares the Buick Centieme). It was featured in the 2005 film *The Island* and the 2014 film *Transformers: Age Of Extinction*. It was also a car in Midnight Club 3 (a 2005 game for Xbox and PS2), and the Gran Turismo games 4 (a PS2 game released in 2004), PSP, 5, and 6.

The Cadillac Cien had a longitudinally mounted 60-degree, 7.5-liter V12 which produced 750 hp (559 kW) and 650 lb⋅ft (881 N⋅m) of torque. This experimental engine featured direct injection and displacement on demand, which allowed the engine to run on only eight or fewer cylinders under light load. The Cien was designed at General Motors' Advanced Design Studio in England and built as a fully working road-going vehicle with the help of the UK-based engineering and motorsport company Prodrive. The Cien's monocoque chassis and body are made of aerogel composite and its design was inspired by the F-22 Raptor.

Mazda Furai

## Mazda Furai Concept

The 2008 Mazda Furai Concept

The **Mazda Furai** (マツダふうらい *Mazda Furai*) was a concept car revealed on 27 December 2007 and manufactured by Mazda. A teaser image of the vehicle was released on 11 December 2007. The Furai officially debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Wing and exhaust in detail from the Mazda Furai on display at the 2008 Canadian International Auto Show

The Furai (風籟 *Fūrai*), meaning "sound of the wind", was the fifth and last of the Nagareline of concept cars that have been made by Mazda since 2006. The chassis was based on the Courage Compétition C65 Le Mans Prototype that Mazda last used to compete in the American Le Mans Series, two seasons previously and was designed to use E100ethanol fuel, it was powered by a heavily modified 20B 3-rotor wankel engine that put out 450 brake horsepower (340 kW). The engine was developed and built by renowned rotary tuner, Racing Beat, who also built the car's rotary-shaped muffler canister.

The car wore the number 55, that of its 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning ancestor, the 787B. Unlike many concept cars, the Furai was fully functional and was tested at various tracks. It ran at Laguna Seca and Buttonwillow.

The head designer, Laurens van den Acker, had stated in an interview with Top Gear magazine that there would have been possibilities of the Furai being used for racing in Le Mans, and he also had strong hopes that the car could be brought to the market.

The Mazda Furai also appears as a playable vehicle in various video game series such as *Real Racing 3*, *Gran Turismo*, *Forza*, *GRID*, *Asphalt* and *GT Racing*. Additionally, a die-cast toy of the car has been made by Hot Wheels.

## 2008 Accident

In September 2013, it was revealed that the car had been destroyed by fire during road tests by *Top Gear* in 2008.[9][10]

On November 29, 2013, *Top Gear* was given the opportunity to make the story about the Furai's demise public. It was explained that the vehicle caught on fire during a photography session at Bentwaters Parks on August 19, 2008, at 11:52 am. Driver Mark Ticehurst was piloting the Furai when the engine bay caught fire while cresting a hill on the backside of the track. Ticehurst was able to escape the car before the fire spread to the cabin area. Due to the location of the accident, fire crews were initially unaware of the incident, and took several minutes to reach the Furai. By this time, the car was completely engulfed in flames. The fire took approximately eight minutes to extinguish, and the Furai was destroyed as a result. Although the car's remains were initially taken to Mazda's Advanced Design Studio in Irvine, California, the final location of the Furai's charred remains is still unknown to this day.
"The Horsepower Revolution - Draft Animal Domestication of the Middle Human Era",

**"The Horsepower Revolution - Draft Animal Domestication of the Middle Human Era",**

*Anton Kovacs, University Press, Cambridge, 2002*

Shaghui were the first domesticate draft animal. The Shaghui is a form of ground sloth, related to extinct forms in South America, approximately 300 to 500 pounds. A leaf eater in summer, in winter it survives by using its huge claws to dig up roots through frozen soil. They tolerate almost any environment except swamps and water.

Shaghui are flexibly social, existing as solitary individuals, pair bonds, mixed herds, and bull or cow harems. A key part of their social interaction is shoving matches to establish dominance. A Shaghui shoving contest can last for days. The Shaghui are powerful enough to shove over small trees. Faced with real predators, however, the Shaghui rear up and slash with their massive digging claws.

The Shaghui were initially domesticated as root diggers, and meat animals, approximately 14,000 years ago. With the development of plows (approximately 12,000 years ago) they came into common use and were redeployed as draft animals, pulling plows, and in short order sledges and wheeled carts.

Roughly 7,000 years ago the Ptahr nomads pioneered the use of Shaghui as military cavalry and succeeded in establishing an empire over a large part of the eastern continent. Shaghui had apparently been in use as a riding animal for a long period of time before that. However, as a mount, the Shaghui was not particularly speedy, its top rate being slower than a sprinting man. As a war mount, however, the Shaghui were utterly devastating.

Domesticated Shaghui have diversified into a number of specialized breeds and remain in common use throughout Tsalal lands.

Spiralny

**Spiralny** – rodzaj bytu w uniwersum Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Byty spiralne posiadają spiralną energię. Istnieje ona w formach życia posiadających DNA w kształcie helisy, a nawet w galaktykach o kształcie spirali. Jedną z takich form są ludzie.

Spiralna energia zwiększa potencjał danego osobnika i sprawia, że wytrwale podąża on ku swoim celom. Spiralni mają zdolność do bezustannej walki i ewolucji niezależnie od warunków otoczenia.

Przeciwnikami Spiralnych są Anty-Spiralni. Boją się oni nieskończonej mocy Spiralnych, więc toczą z nimi wojnę. Na skutek wielu bitew i potyczek Spiralni zostali zmuszeni do wycofania się na planety będące ich domami, na przykład na Ziemię.

Anty-Spiralni po takim zwycięstwie zainstalowali machiny mające kontrolować populację spiralnych, dla Ziemi był to Księżyc. Miały one aktywować się, kiedy liczba istot Spiralnych żyjących na danej planecie przekroczyła odpowiedni limit, dla Ziemi limit ten wynosił 1 milion, a Księżyc miał po przekroczeniu limitu spaść na Ziemię i zniszczyć jej populację.
Antarctic Life

I haven't really paid much attention to whole categories of antarctic life.

Are there amphibians or reptiles? I could see hyper-seasonal frogs, perhaps freezing solid like the arctic char, or perhaps reproducing in the fall, the eggs frozen through the winter, thawing and the whole population growing through the summer. Possibly some salamanders. Possibly some lizards and turtles survive. Those critters actually make it pretty high up in Canada. On the other hand, crocs and gators, and big turtles and tortoises are strictly southern warm water crits.

The Gaint Salamander loves icy water. I don't know if they existed in the soutern hemisphere though. As for reptiles, there are many examples of hybrinating snakes and such.

What about birds? I've assumed given the circumpolar winds and currents and distances that migratory birds don't travel to and from Antarctica to any other continent. But I've also assumed, without discussing it, that there's a reasonable complement of bird species. On the other hand, they've got to survive the winter nights, so there may not be that large or remarkable a complement of bird species. We may see some interesting social or eusocial adaptations to survive the winter. And there's the possibility of a big rattite, like a Cassowary or Emu or Rhea. There's even a remote possibility of a 'terror bird', as found in both Australia and South American history, although I tend to the view that the Sicaripods have probably driven them into extinction.

sounds good to me.

As for invertebrates, annelids, mollusks, insects and whatnot, I've assumed that they're there, but for the most part have only given consideration to the domesticated forms - glow worms, meatworms, and termites.

We can assume that there are biting flies in Antarctica, leaf eaters, and other insect or human pests. There's probably mosquitos. In Yag, there's a water parasite which has managed to shift from the Astropotheres to humans. There's also a Shaghui flea which has made the cross species leap. Insects form a vector for disease transmission, but at this point, its not particularly remarkable.

Thinking it over, I don't know that the Antarcticans have honey. Honey was cultivated in both Mesoamerica and the Old World, so that's at least two independent inventions. So I'd say it's better than 50/50 that the Tsalal, exploiting every food resource in their environment, and domesticating other insects probably had honey.

It's not like there isn't even a precedent for polar cultures exploiting honey. The tundra dwelling Inuit would dig for Arctic Bumble Bee hives in the winter, when they hibernated, and when they stung the least.
Gunmen

**Gunmen** – rodzaj mecha występujący w serii Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Ważnym elementem ich wyglądu jest twarz, mogą też mieć więcej, niż jedną twarz. Mają przeróżną broń, od gołych dłoni, aż po broń laserową. Są napędzane spiralną energią ich ludzkich pilotów, albo elektrycznością, jeśli pilot jest zwierzoludziem.

## Historia

Pierwotnym zastosowaniem gunmenów była walka z Anty-Spiralnymi, głównymi antagonistami świata. Lordgenome stworzył ich około 1000 lat przed akcją serii. Najwięksi z nich to Dai-Gun; byli w dawnych czasach bardzo popularni, takie gunmeny jak Dai-Gunzan czy Arc-Gurren były o wiele powszechniejsze, niż mniejsze modele występujące później. Co więcej, gunmeny dostosowano do walki w kosmosie.

Po wydarzeniach serii pozostało niewiele gunmenów, oprócz Gurren Laganna i Super Galaxy Dai-Gurrena. Większość sił zbrojnych Ziemi stanowią w tych czasach Grapearle.

## Ciekawostki

* Nazwa gunmen 顔面 ガンメン znaczy „powierzchnia twarzy”. Jest to zgodne z tym, że gunmeny przypominają twarze.
Jared Diamond

## **"Invasion: How Species and Peoples Have Transformed the World" Jared Diamond, 2012**

"....of course, biological exchanges, the movement of plants and animals from one biogeographical region to another has been going on a long time. The most famous, of course, is the South American interchange, when three million years ago, South America joined North America. An interchange which saw devastation for much South American flora and fauna, but some notable successes. Of course, there have been other such exchanges...

"The human era, however, has seen a proliferation of biological exchange to an unheard of degree. Dogs in Australia, rats spread across polynesia, horses and oxen across Europe and Asia. Literally every agricultural plant, and a great many parasite species and hangers on have moved far beyond their original biogeographies by virtue of human transmission. The modern era has accelerated this beyond all reckoning. It took dogs 30,000 years to make it to Australia after human habitation. It's taken less than two centuries for rabbits, starlings, camels and goats to invade the Australian countryside....

"The rule is that smaller biogeographical regions invariably suffer when mixing with larger. The larger region has generally had more diversity, larger populations, and for want of a better term, more effective and robust species who often supplant local flora and fauna. This rule breaks down with the so called Antarctic interchange...."

"Of course, it is impossible to think of Scotland, without its rolling fields of midnight sedge, and the burly shaghuts lumbering across the highlands. But Scotland was, even a century ago, quite a different place. Local grasses and bushes have been largely displaced by an aggressive Antarctic species, all but inedible to European herbivores, necessitating the importation of Antarctic herds. And what significant city or town in Europe or North America has not been plagued by colonies of hive monkeys. The Raccoon is now an endangered species, extinct in 4/5ths of its former range...."

"Economic utility has been behind many of these invasions. The importation of Shaghut to Scotland or the Baltics is an attempt to turn a profit from the disaster otherwise represented by the spread of Antarctic flora. .... It's hard to imagine how such activities as cotton picking or fruit harvesting would have been carried out without the domestication of hive monkeys, but the the economic gains from the introduction of this species have never been balanced against the inevitable consequences of feral populations running wild..."
Charles Darwin

I've just thought of something. Seing as we're obliterating butterflys anyway, what would Darwin make of half this stuff? And the Voyage of the Beagle would have probably included Antarctica as well, so we get Darwin at the Pole! (Actually, that may become the 'gentleman's vacation' of the 19th Century, Africa, Antarctica and the Pole. And seing as there was a hotel at the eqautor, bet there's one there as well.

I like it. It works extremely well with your 'Uninhabited Antarctica' timeline, since there'd be virgin landscape and no one to object.
In the Tsalal timeline, the voyage of the Beagle would take place 1831-1836, which would be approximately 60 years after Captain Cook. So it seems likely to be viable.
Green Antarctica - The Last Continent Wiki

## Welcome to the Wiki

Welcome to the wiki. We’re a collaborative community website about your topic that anyone, including you, can edit. Click the edit button at the top of any page to get started!

## Origin of the Wiki

This wiki was born from an idea of **DValdron** in the alternatehistory.com forum : Green Antarctica - The Last Continent.

## Premise

Antarctica never glaciates (or at least never glaciates completely) leaving a relatively warm, habitable continent with a functioning ecosystem. Essentially, Antarctica remains more or less the live continent that it was 20 million or so years ago. Despite being a live continent, Antarctica remains isolated by distance and the circumpolar currents. Even without glaciation, 6 month nights and six month days, and various local conditions make this the strangest most exotic place on earth.

## Caveats

This is playing the ASB card big time. Despite lack of complete glaciation, world sea levels are approximately the same as they are now and followed the same historic and prehistoric fluctuations. Human evolution is not butterflied away. The prehistoric climate shifts, ice ages and mass extinctions occur on schedule. The Antarctic circumpolar currents and coriolis winds are the same as in our universe with the same strength and effect, the only difference being that for arbitrary fluke Antarctica is not transformed into an icebox, but rather the circumpolar keeps the polar heat from escaping. No explanation required or given. Butterflies don't start to happen until humans actually get there, and even then, butterflies may not be significant for quite some time.

## Rules

Given this premise the following rules apply:

Rule #1 - We don't talk about fight club.

Rule #2 - we don't talk about fight club. More seriously, the **only rule** is that the premise is inviolate - no going 'Is impossible' or 'butterflies prevent humans from evolving, etc.

## Invitation

It will be try and work this out as far as its fun. But it have gaps, obviously. Anyone can play, all ideas welcome. Parallel threads are great. Someone wants to pull a Jared and invent an entire Antarctic civilization, welcome to it. Or a 'United States of Antarctica' where the American revolution happens there, all fine. We can split the thread, maintain separate timelines within the thread, play with ideas. There's a line between criticism and negativity, and really good criticism is welcome. If someone wants to throw in an arbitrary ASB term to make their idea work, go with it. It should get criticism, but not negation.

**Let's all just have fun with this!**

Gurren Brigade

Gurren Brygada jest ugrupowaniem stworzonym przez Kaminę. Początkowo składało się wyłącznie z łobuzów i Simona. W pierwszym odcinku po zdradzeniu Kamyi przez łobuzów stracili oni przywilej nazywania swojego lidera metaforycznym "starszym bratem". W późniejszych odcinkach mieszkańcy wioski Yoko zostali przyłaczeni do Gurren Brygady nie do końca rozumiejąc co się dzieje choć przyjęli ten zaszczyt. Finalnie pod koniec 3 odcinka aktualnym składem Gurren Brygady jest Ron, Yoko, Simon oraz ich lider Kamina. Więcej o tym ugrupowaniu można znaleźć pod Dai-Gurren Brigade które jest dokładnie tym samym ugrupowaniem ale ktoś uznał iż świetnym pomysłem będzie utworzyć na ich temat ODDZIELNY ARTYKUŁ nad którym aktualnie pracuję.
About population

Australia is alot closer to New Zealand than Antarctica yet there was no rafting incidents that led Aboriginals populating NZ. NZ remainded uninhabited until discovered by Moari in the 13th century.

True, and my alternative timeline idea has Captain Cook discovering a virgin continent. But this seems more entertaining.

Man the Polynesians are so damned ASB conveniantly discovering allot of places just before the Europeans also. A timeline where Tasman, Drake and Cook find most pacific Islands and New Zealand uninhabited would be a whole lot more plausable than OTL!

Add Madagascar, which was only settled in the last thousand years as well by another Austronesian people, and you've got yourself a deal.

Actually, it sounds like a possibly interesting timeline. You should spin it up a bit and see what turns out. All these tiny uninhabited islands through the pacific, who would take them, and why?
Herbert Wells

"No Englishman would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by a civilization as great as our Europe's, and far more ruthless than our own; that as men of London and Manchester busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency our ships went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over the seas. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to remote regions danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of them as curious and improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. Yet on the remotest regions of the Earth, minds that were to our minds as strange and alien beasts are to ours, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this our blessed isles with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment."

The Cavras

Okay here's an idea, if you like it feel free to use it, if you don't thats ok to I just had to get this out of my head

## The Cavras

the Cavras (Cav-Rass) is a member of the order Ornithorhynchus a relative of the Platypus, and bears a passing resemblance to its smaller cousin, thou its "duck bill" mouth is comparativly shorter and wider, and its limbs are longer proportianally to its body size than the Platypus. Cavras are semi aquatic ambush predators, filling a niche normally occupied by members of the Crocadile family. It evolved on a parallel Earth were Antarctica never froze (at least not to the extent it did on ours), As the Crocodiles and there relative perished under the still cool climate, the Cavras filled the vacated niche. over a period of several million years, the ancestors of the Cavras branched of from the Platypus line, (itself a some what recent immigrant from the Australia, which had separated from Australia around 20million years prior to the lines emergence), the modern Carvas is a large (5-7ft long, upto 250lb) semi aquatic predator, like some the older extinct Ornithorhynchus lines the Cavras possesses teeth, though they are specialized to slice flesh and crush bone. Like modern Platypus, the Cavras is venomous, the venom is administered thru special claws on the front feet and is potent enough to kill a adult kangaroo. The favored tactic of these predators is to spring from the water using their powerful rear legs and tails, attempting to gouge their prey with their poisoned claws, once the prey is killed, they will drag it into the river were it can be consumed in relative safety a way from scavenging marsupial predators

Sounds good, the Cavras is in.

The Platypus seems to have been a very durable critter, I believe it dates back to the Mesozoic era, and Platypus fossils have been found in South America. The fact that Platypoi were native to both South America and Australia means that they were certainly a feature of the Gondwanaland biology and were definitely native to Antarctica as well.

The retreat of crocadilians would have opened up a niche to possible exploitation.

Thanks, I'm thinking of stating it as a d20 creature and springing it on my gaming group some time. I forgot to mention in the post, they usually live alone or in mated pairs, with both parents taking turns caring for the eggs/young, and will sometimes congregate in large groups, like crocodiles.

Sailor's Lexicon, Chatham House Publishers, 1899

**Sailor's Lexicon, Chatham House Publishers, 1899**

**"Shine your curlies"** - usages *"Don't shine your curlies at me." "You're shining your curlies." "Your curlies are shining." "My curlies don't shine."*Usually denoting untrustworthiness or malicious intent. The phrase originates with Tsalal prostitutes in places such as Tierra del Fuego, Santiago, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, who at night would go naked with luminiscent insects woven into their pubic hair to entice sailors, and distract them from disease or danger. The Tsalal were by rumour notorious cannibals and so associating with prostitutes of the southern race was considered a risky undertaking indeed. Rumours also persisted of extraordinary sexual proclivities, so there is a secondary meaning for the ventures of extraordinary risk and reward.

The genital glowbugs are a bit weird, but reasonable. the Lexicon entry is awesome.

I was actually going for nasty, scary and vile. But thanks.

The people of Antarctica are descended from four (five if either of the women were pregnant by the obnoxious warrior) people - all from Australia/Tasmania. Combined with the huge percentage of deaths among their descendants that very limited gene pool has been under tremendous selective pressure.

Among the selective pressures will be the extreme seasonal changes, the poor and seasonally scarce food supply, and the extreme societal stresses (semi-to-fully normalized cannibalism for example). There are bound to be some significant (if unanticipated) effects on what 'being human' is to an Antarctican. All of it a thoroughly mixed up complexity of biology and culture.

Cheese is spoiled milk. Bread is baked moldy porridge. I wonder what sorts of dishes the Antarcticans have made with penguin regurgitation....I'm sure they worked out how to preserve it....I wonder if they have a sausage...

What do the Australian Aborigines think of their 'long-lost cousins'? Somehow I suspect that their opinion is not very high....

Well, it is mentioned that when James Cook discovers them, the Tsalal are at a similar level of technology to Europeans, and they have naval prowess...so the Aborigines may have had a very close personal encounter with the Tsalal.

I would be fearing that the Aborigines would become the Mori-ori to the Tsalal's Maori; but I think there was a reference to a scholar from "Koala Press" with an Aboriginal sounding name at one point.
Innovation and Social Transformation among Primitive Cultures

**Innovation and Social Transformation among Primitive Cultures**

***Putnam Swopes, 3rd Edition, Massachusets Press, 1968***

***Even relatively small changes in technology or behaviour can have huge consequences. A simple change in sewing needle, can transform a society.***

The appearance of a new sort of needle in the proto-inuit society allowed for the sewing of watertight skin boats, which in turn created new opportunities for fishing and seal hunting, allowing the inuit to prosper and expand their range to places where humans had been unable to survive, and to supplant other arctic cultures, such as the Dorset, which rapidly dwindled towards extinction.

So too among the middle-era Tsalal, where the first plows were small, human driven, push plows, literally shovels, for turning soft ground. With the development of woven rope, these had been replaced by pull plows, but still hauled and pushed by humans. Human hauled plows lead to the development of a human harness for the plow to make the job easier and maximize the value of labour.

The adaptation of this harness to Shaghui and later Mothbeasts lead to a revolution in agriculture and cultural transformation.

The plow harness was adapted again, for sleds and travois. To minimize drag, sleds runners were developed for sleds and travois. The effort to minimize drag further by elevating the sled or travois base from the runners lead to wheeled carts.

An adaptation of sled harness to a riding saddle and reins, essentially a slightly different harness. transformed the thinly populated highlands, replacing them with mounted nomads and higher population densities.

In each turn, a relatively small innovation transformed culture, creating new cultures, new communities, new ways of life. And, invariably, has lead to the extermination of preceding cultures.
