The world also constantly changes: continents drift and change shape, the climate changes over time, and the landscape can change. This can also affect your species: evolve your species too early or too late, and you may find yourself living in a world unsuited to its needs, which will put you at a disadvantage. This also means you constantly need to keep you species on the move in search of better environments where they can thrive. Creatures that can't keep up will go extinct.

Intelligent life isn't exclusive to primates, either: it is entirely possible to evolve sapient elephants, for instance.

to:

The game spans geologic time, from the Labyrinthodontia, or the age of the first amphibian tetrapods, to the Age of Mammals. Species earn points needed for evolving new traits or evolving into new species to stay competitive with other species. You can choose from a range of creatures, each of which have multiple evolutionary paths.

Once sapient life has been evolved, certain other species will also start evolving towards that sapient species, which means there can be only one, and you'll have to block other species from reaching that point in order to win the game.
