Description[edit]
Roughly similar to the Pithecanthropus or "Upright Ape-Man" of old Terra, Neopithecanthropus is a loose grouping of many different species found across human occupied space that have Stone Age technology or lower.
History[edit]
The species has been found evolving separately but concurrently on Campoleone, Stein's Folly, Despair, and other worlds scattered throughout the Inner Sphere and Periphery.[1][2][4][3] There is a related but distinct species found on Old Kentucky.[5] Famously encountered on Stein's Folly by an injured Ardan Sortek. After ejecting from his Victor while in battle with Capellan Confederation forces, he found himself encountering a tribe of these creatures which he simply referred to as the "Pinks" due to their unusual eyes. Battling with a high fever at the time, he was uncertain if his encounter with them even happened at all. Ardan would vaguely remember these pink eyed creatures, which he described as having a small fat body, pale skin, and possessing small fur hides. The tribe took him to a clearing where he was tied to a tree surrounded by human skeletons.[2]
Anthropologist Rodney Tatum described an encounter with them in their diaries in 3055.[4]
