Fiction:Elucaphon history

After 3 billion years of evolution on Clompagnow, the Elucaphon have risen to become a sapient creature.

Prehistory - Tribal Stage
Some of the names are in greek, as is with human prehistory.
 * Paleo - Ancient
 * YAE - Years After Evolving

Paleotropicos Age 0-1000 YAE
The continent where the Elucaphon had evolved was getting drier and drier, due to the mountain shadows not allowing moist air to reach the plains where they lived (but they were not far from the coast). So they moved north along the coast until they were out of the monutain shadows. Here, the enviroment was much wetter, and they did not depend on fish, because there was more food sources available. However, they still enjoy their coastal enviroment, but are beginning to fan out into the tropical jungles that surrounds them (note that these are still a little bit cooler on average than the forests on Earth, as Clompagnow orbits a Red dwarf star, which are much cooler than Earth's sun).
 * Tropicos - Tropical (Greek)

They tended to live in caves hollowed out by the sea (even though this existence was dangerous), or built homes out of sand. They of course had no choice, either that, or the great deserts.

Paleoglyphe Age 1000 - 10,000 YAE
The Elucaphon start creating simple jewlery and cave art (unfortunately lot of the cave art was wiped out by sea currents). They also devoloped Throwing spears as weapons or hunting gear and the Wooden horn as musical instruments in order to socialise or simply have fun.
 * Glyphe - Carving, work (Greek)
