EVE General Discussion

Considering that competition and selfishness lead to extinction, if Humanity still was alive on Earth in the New Eden timeframe they certainly would be a very different beast than we are now...

The human in New Eden were returned to a pre-space flight technological era, and in many cases, they where destroyed when their environments crumbled by technical failures. New Eden was set back thousands of years technologically and also socially.

So it's not just that Humanity on Earth continued their technological advancement, but they also should evolve in other ways. Even in the limited confines of New Eden, some races managed to evolve until extinction -where are the Talocans? And what's left of the Jovian now?

New Eden is slowly moving into transhumanism, with capsuleers spearheading that evolution. But maybe Earth moved in a different direction.

At one point, technological races with a biological foundation need to choose -do they become purely technological? Do they become purely biological? Do they expand to delay the transition? What if they run out of space to expand since the outwards pressure of population moves faster than interstellar travel?

Only one thing is certain. In a crisis, the line between life and death depends on how much effort is wasted being "the" winner compared to ensuring survival of the collective. Over and over again in history, we've seen in the small scale how intestine division destroyed societies under pressure. The fall of Tawantinsuyu against less than 20 Spanish soldiers is an extreme case of such destruction. But also the demise of the norse Greenlanders was facilitated by intestine division and lack of adaptation -norse were such successful sheep growers adn farmers that they dismissed fishing and thus managed to starve and die surrounded by some of the world's richest fishing waters. No to mention that the only thing they had to write about native Greenlanders was "they bleed for a long while"...
