in one of the bonus missions of starcraft you discovered a tape with scientific research about "the origin of the species", i was wondering if that refers to humans and means that humans have a different past than we thought your opinions and crackpot theories?
I think what it suppose to mean is about both the Zerg and the Protoss, its about them been created by another species (Xel'Naga)
that would be interesting as well, seeing the old confederates hunt for xel'naga weaponry to use against the dominion
Sorry guys but it is not possible as that installation was destroyed. Not saying that data could be elsewhere, but..... not likely that it is. Sorry to burst your bubble. Also it is most likely about the origin of the Zerg and Toss. http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Deception Source Above. :good:
I think the protoss created us as a lab experiment, then helped us build the pyramids, then shot kennedy
While most likely just a little easter egg, if in fact it was realish, I'm sure it details the Zerg, and the experiments done on them.
and who create the xel' naga? They are like us? they's started like Unicellular Organism? Or the xel' naga are Humans from the future? =O
So, I chatted with a few developers the other day. Origin of Species is actually a hidden mixtabe containing remixs of starcraft songs with Karune vocalizing.
Mentioned tape surely contains history of the Zerg, Protoss and Xel'Naga, but the origin of the Terrans themselves is also interesting. Once in my fanfictions I created very strange (even for me) version that we were some middle-experiment of Xel'Naga and they left us before even ending the experiment, so don't know of its final success.
i think that maybe the terrans where a creation of the protoss that went extremely wrong, but the protoss allowed them to continue for the sake of research. that may be why some humans have the psi powers
I don't think the Xel'Naga created the Zerg, Terran , or Protoss. I think the story suggest that the Xel'Naga merely manipulated the evolution of these species ( except Terran, maybe.) If the Xel'Naga created Aiur then it would stand to reason they also created the Protoss. But I don't think thats the case. I think the Xel'Naga, like crazy scientists, just manipulated the evolution of the races as the Zerg and Protoss both turned on the Xel'Naga with the Zerg nearly wiping them out. I'll go with the story which leads me to think the Protoss were much like humans in the past until the Xel'Naga shifted their evolution. The Zerg were just little larve which were able to to absorb or blend with the genetic make up of other species. Its pretty much indisputable the Xel'Naga messed with the evolution of Protoss and Zerg , each falling short of what the Xel'Naga desired ' purity of form and essence.' Perhaps to emulate themselves maybe because they desired sentient equals. The Terrans are a little tricky. My theory is that the Terrans come from the same humble beginnings as the Protoss. The evolution of the two species went in two different directions. I don't think the Xel'Naga messed with humans while they definately did it with the Protoss. Remember, the story suggests that all three species have some psionic potential but the Protoss being the most advanced. The Zerg larve already had psionic properties which drew the Xel'Naga to them. The Terrans are in their baby stages of psionic potential and even harnessed some of it with the Ghost programs. I think even though the Protoss are far more advanced than the Terran, they are less adaptable to change. If theres anything that humans are accredited for , despite their inferiority as psychics, is their rugged adaptability. Humans seem to be able to exist more independently than the Protoss or Zerg. It seems that without some strong psionic link , the Zerg and Protoss seem to go crazy as in the Aeon of Strife for the Protoss. It seems the Dark Templar were able to free themselves of collective dependence through some mysterious access to 'void' or 'dark' energy which lets them exist independent of the Khala ( one can say the characteristics of the Dark Templar are more human than kosher Protoss). I don't think the Xel'Naga messed with humans and turned their attention to the protoss. Perhaps because primative protoss were more developed psychically due to the matrix energy around Aiur which apparently lacks on Earth. Perhaps the Xel'Naga underestimated the potential of humans ( apparently just like the Protoss did) and left us alone. You'll notice that human psychic ability has developed more in the Korpulu sector closer to places where Xel'Naga messed with. I bet back in Starcraft's Earth technology is probably more advanced than the Terrans of the Korpulu sector but the psychic potential is much less.
Yeah just a Darwin reference, I would think. I'm more interested in the other things mentioned from that mission, like "Utilizing Dragoon Technology For Human Reconstruction".
Chris Metzen shrugged off most of those technologies in his interview with SC:L. I'm sure the writers were taking too many liberties, but Metzen doesn't want to discredit the maps and the writers by making it non-canonical. Also, Zekko is correct. A few things though. 1) I'm pretty sure humans evolved by themselves, no Xel'Naga influence or anything. Earth is too far away from where the Xel'Naga experimented. It's more than halfway across the galaxy. 2) Aiur was a Xel'Naga engineered world, but the Protoss evolved by themselves, and later with the help of the Xel'Naga. I don't think it has anything to do with Aiur having an energy matrix since the Protoss themselves don't access it, and there's no reason Earth wouldn't have one either. That has to do more with the convicts journey and the mutations they underwent rather than the locale. The only thing different about the locale is the minerals and vespene that grows on the galactic rim.
i would still like some sort of alien intrusion in mankinds evolution, maybe not the XN, but their enemies
