Description
Evidence indicates that modern humans (Homo sapiens) originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago, also it has been estimated that the human "lineage" diverged from that of chimpanzees (our closest living relative) about five million years ago, and from that of gorillas about eight million years ago.
However, a hominid skull discovered in Chad in 2001,is approximately seven million years old, which may indicate an earlier divergence. But what about 50-100 millions years ago o maybe more?!....well......we have no evidence!.....so, I enjoyed myself thinking in different way..... maybe I'm gone too far!.
Here the scenario : planet Earth 200 millions years ago, lat. 36.3 N - long.112.8 W more o less at the actual Grand Canyon area. One big guy looks warlike but it's only the remains of what he was.......beside two more guys are looking at him with admiration and timorous respect....the same respect you have for your God. But....wait a moment, one is a human being and the other is a gorilla and he seems to be more than Sapiens!, this is not possible 200 millions years ago!, and who is this big
guy?...an alien? or he is part of our ancestors?.. in the meantime on the right side a meteoroid hit the ground.....maybe it is a warning?.......something big has to come? or this meteor is the carrier of something else?.... virus?....intelligence?....o what?!....and the dinosaurs....where they are?....naaah!...without a properly atmosphere......uhmm!...I think for today it's enough....now I'm a bit confused,
so please, give me a break! and find the answers
yourself!.
This time I used mojoworld for landscaping, from poser I have imported the models and rendered all togheter..... sign, framing and postwork in photoshop CS3. The fantastic alien cannon was originally created by Sean Kennedy (aka Treybor), the two character are Larva/HAIPS M3 from Xurge3D and Silverback Gorilla from Legolas, finally the small temple is from DM.
Enjoy!

Very cool piece and excellent written setup for the piece as well. Nicely done

You know, there is a lot of speculation about human past history. Maybe it took a big rock to tell us to wake up. This is a really beautiful render. And I like how you set the framework for it. Well done!

What a beautiful oreginal creation and, excellent well done... Excellent gallery...F

A great theme, scenery and composition. I am convinced our gods are reptilian aliens so it is more than likely I will give this image 5 stars and a fav ...:) The rest is... unhuman unofficial history... Excellent work!

Super!

Wonderful work! I just don't agree with the "chimpanzees as our closest living relative" thing... Congrats!

it kinda reminds me of that haunting scene at the end of the movie 2010m which showed the Europa swamps and the eerie cry in the background. is creation happening all around us... as we speak... what subtle changes in structure would make the maswwive changes we have today... are we the real inheritors of the earth, or just the lucky ones? boggles the mind..... as does this image..... ungawa!

Hmm… In fact some 50 Million Years ago our ancestors were prosimians (probably tarsioids), somewhat like the Magasy lemurs of today… but in a scifi mood why not magine another thing… although knowing what really happened thanks to palaeontological discoveries. Well done and very professional scene!

Cool work! I don't believe in the ape/chimp theory...if thats the case then why do they not evolve to humans today? Just my opinion but I believe we came from another planet, perhaps one we destroyed just like we are doing to this one. Whatever the case your image was worth the visit and I love when one poses questions such as this!

I love a good debate!!! Very cool image and background story...Science is hindered by ego and secrecy....Questions will always lead to more questions...Else we'd be bored to death....But as long as people are as imaginative as you all are ...And are nice enough to share their dreams with me... I'll never be bored...Quite a favorable argument for what post work can add to a well-executed render...Thank you...

No really..I think our ancestors would be another human form little changed during the experiments.. I'll stop about philosophy...and say that this is an imaginative masterpiece.. probably needs a little more work..but it's fine!
