* River Song has files on the [[Silurian]]s. | * River Song has files on the [[Silurian]]s in [[River Song's diary|her diary]]. | ||
* River notes that there has been invasion of [[Earth]], not from [[space]] or [[alien]]s, but by [[human]] beings. | |||
* River acknowledges that humans were not the first [[civilisation]] on Earth. | |||
* Millions of [[year]]s ago, humans were savage [[ape]]s. | |||
* In the early stages of their development, humans were scavengers who were [[pest]]s to the [[homo reptilia]] or "Reptilemen", the first rulers of Earth. | |||
* Homo reptilia have been known by less accurate nicknames such as [[Silurian]]s, [[Eocene]]s or [[Sea Devil]]s. | |||
* Homo reptilia built [[Silurian city|great cities]] and established a vast civilisation. | |||
* Homo reptilia [[technology]] allowed them to set up [[force field]]s, control other [[animal]]s such as [[dinosaur]]s, tunnel through [[rock]] and see into [[space]]. | |||
* [[Astronomer]]s saw that a small [[rogue planet]] was heading toward the Earth on a collision course. | |||
* [[Scientist]]s 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 occured, 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. | |||
* A group nicknamed "[[Silurian]]s" was awakened by an underground scientific project and tried to wipe out the human race using a [[Silurian plague|deadly plague]]. However, the humans found a cure and the Silurians were destroyed. | |||
* Underwater [[Sea Devil]]s 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. | |||
* A combined force of Silurians and Sea Devils tried to get humans to destroy themselves in a war, but the war was averted and the reptiles were killed. | |||
* Humans and reptiles came the closest ever to a peaceful agreement at the [[Discovery Project]] in [[Cwmtaff]]. However, the talks faltered again as a [[Ambrose Northover|human]] [[murder]]ed a [[Alaya|reptile]]. | |||
* River suggests that humans and reptiles will one day learn to live together but not for a long time, as humans cannot even live in [[peace]] with each other at the moment. | |||
