References
- River has files on the Silurians in her diary.
- River acknowledges that humans were not the first civilisation on Earth.
- In the early stages of their development, humans were scavengers who were pests to the homo reptilia, the first rulers of Earth.
- Homo reptilia have been known by less accurate nicknames, such as Silurians, Eocenes or Sea Devils.
- Homo reptilia built great cities and established a vast civilisation.
- Homo reptilia technology allowed them to set up force fields, control other animals such as dinosaurs, tunnel through rock and see into space.
- Astronomers saw that a small rogue planet was heading toward the Earth on a collision course.
- Homo reptilia scientists predicted a catastrophic collision that would wipe out their civilisation and so devised a plan to escape the coming apocalypse. The reptile race built huge underground shelters and put themselves into hibernation, intending to sleep through the catastrophe and awaken once the crisis was over. Ultimately, the rogue planet was captured by Earth's gravity and drawn into orbit to become and became the Moon. As no collision occurred, the reptile race slept on through the millennia.
- Occasionally, some groups of reptiles have awoken, whether by accident or when disturbed by human activity like the Discovery Drilling Project. As a result, there have been several encounters between the two races, all ending in disaster for the reptiles.
Story notes
- Footage from Doctor Who and the Silurians, Warriors of the Deep, The Sea Devils, The Hungry Earth and Cold Blood is shown, as well as new new footage of River Song's diary
Continuity
- A group nicknamed "Silurians" was awakened by an underground scientific project and tried to wipe out the human race using a deadly plague. However, the humans found a cure and the Silurians were destroyed. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians)
- Underwater Sea Devils were woken by renovation work on an old sea fort and proceeded to sink ships, hoping to awaken all the reptile people, but were destroyed by humans as well. (TV: The Sea Devils)
- Silurians and Sea Devils together made a fail attempt to plunge humanity into war. (TV: Warriors of the Deep)
- Humans and reptiles came the closest ever to a peaceful agreement at the Discovery Project in Cwmtaff. However, the talks faltered again when Ambrose Northover murdered Alaya. (TV: Cold Blood)
