The History of a species, showing the Creature Stage

History button
History lists the history of your creature. When clicked, a timeline comes up, showing your creature's actions through played stages, and the years passed. It is located on the bottom right corner of the game screen, next to the progress bar.
Consequence Abilities[]
During the Cell, Creature, Tribal and Civilization Stages, the History icon will also show the Consequences of your creature's actions, in addition to being a timeline. Aggressive actions bring the flow of the timeline downward, towards the red card, while social actions bring the flow up towards the green card. Balanced activities create blue cards. Consequence plays a decent part during the Space Stage, and during Civilization, they will play a bit of a role, unless the player chooses to try and switch their method of world domination. For example, a player who collected a green trait card in the Tribal Stage —making their nation a Religious one— but wants to acquire the Pirate B Gone consequence ability will need to convert a Military city, leave it as such and capture as many other cities as possible using military vehicles purchased from it.
At the end of each stage, the history is reviewed, and you receive your Consequence card.
Advancement[]
The History icon also serves as the Advancement button for your creature. At the end of the Cell, Creature, Tribal, and Civilization stages, the progress bar glows, and clicking the History icon ends the stage.
Glitch[]

An example of the timeline progress bar during the glitch.
There is only one known glitch, which merges different times and stages together, which is frustrating for players looking up the history of their creature. This is a rather rare bug, but it is reported that it happens much more frequently for people who have installed the Galactic Adventures expansion. There is no known solution to this bug.
Trivia[]
- As the amount of time spent in each stage is depicted as so many years (i.e., centuries, millennia or longer), a player who progresses slowly enough can feasibly make the length of their creature's evolutionary history longer than the universe itself has existed (approximately 13.8 billion years), up to nearly a trillion (1012) years. One very easy way to do this is to leave the game on for a day in the Cell Stage. Since the time passes in a hundred thousand years, time will accumulate very quickly.
