WMG / Quest for Fire

Go To

The species of hominid in this film are as follows:

Ulam: Homo erectus (medium build, primitive features, Acheulian tech, simple language)

Kzamm: Homo neandertalensis (stocky build, red hair, large noses, cannibalism)

Ivaka: Homo sapiens (obvious)

Wagabu: some primitive species like the Red Deer cave people.

  • I'd personally swap Ulam and Kzamm. The Wagabu are pretty much Homo habilis...POSSIBLY Australopithecus afarensis.
    • The Red Deer cave people are thought to have affinities with H. habilis.
    • Actually the Red Deer Cave people are more likely Homo erectus. The Wagabu are a dead ringer for contemporary depictions of Australopithecines.

The species of hominid in the novel are as follows:

Oulhamr: Homo neandertalensis. Transitioning between Acheulian and Mousterian tool cultures.

Kzamm: Homo erectus. An archaic "habilis" morph like the Dmanisi hominids and the Red Deer cave people.

Red Dwarves: Homo floresiensis

Wah: Homo sapiens

Blue-haired men: Gigantopithecus blacki

Men of the trees: Pongo weidenreichi
