This is my Attempt at a Different kind of Story, A Docomentary styled story on how Anthro civilizations could Form, And In Chapter 2 i will Detail how these anthro and human civilizations Could Interact from The End of the BCE (Before common era) up to now! I Guess you could say its a " history of anthros "

(( the writing for those of you whom Cant Stand downloads ))

Eons of Foot and paw
By Silverdragons

For what it is Worth, Picture in your head a world that looks Exactly like Earth.
A World with more or less the same formation and atmosphere, But Change one Factor.
The amount Of Sentient Species to evolve,Whales,sharks,Tigers,Gorillas, All Forms of Animals Gaining the ability to Solve Puzzles, develope language and Make Tools.

This is the Tale of Eons of foot and paw, a Take on Our normal World, had most Mamalian Reptilian and avian forms of life Gained an anthropomorphic Counterpart....Including humans

(Chapter 1)
Right from the begining

Now what Period of Earth was Relitivley safe and had familiar Lifeforms? Lets assume That at least 33 Million years ago Is a Good start, We had primitive forms Of Primates Crocodiles horses girafes You name it, There Gradual Evolution That would Allow Such to become Anthropomorphic Requires that Of a Good Brain For emotion and Intelegence, The ability to Stand on 2 Feet And For hands to Develope, With the exceptions of pachyderm and Equine And Snake species This is Easy! Just Gain Stronger hind legs and longer Front legs.

Those with those Traits would Evolve into Anthropomorphics the Quickest, Like rats Cats Canines Crocodiles and other reptilians Along with primates, Others like Avians would evolve Slower, And Pachyderms And equines Would be lucky if this was at all Possible.

Over the millions of years As these species evolve They'd more then likley move To other locations Out of Survival, mamalians would more then likley Survive in the Colder north Where there Furs or Pelts Can protect them, A few avian species could survive there but not 100% of the time, Most reptilian and avian Species would Live in Warmer CLimates Such as the Tropics, And reptilians would be especially good at Surviving In Deserts Or Swamps.

Naturally This would eventually develope Into The Equivalents Of Races and nationalities as Climate further defined the dominant Anthro In that reigon, Likley This would Become Nations Ruled by the species Thats dominant in that reigon, Unless of course a democracy could Form in These Governments ruled by a species.

With a world of species with Varying skills and Forms, inevitabley civilization would Form, Lets assume that Most of these civilizations could form From Agriculture, What would they use it for? With the carnivorous species They could Grow Crops To Feed then breed Non Sentient Animals For meat, clothing Tools And such, During winters Or dry seasons They could Fish or preserve Existing Stocks, as such Hunting And Domestication Would be there primary Skill, However The need for meat Does limit them to Areas where animals are easy to Find, Even when the Livestock they have is good.

Herbivorous species Would Grow Crops Purley for There survival, Since they dont need to raise Farmstock For there foods, they could keep all the food they harvest, Though being a Herbivorous Species,There primary skill would be Defence and Farming, And they most likley would still keep the Behavior of Storing food for the Winter, Grains and vegetables Easier to Store but Easy to freeze They'd be slower to grow due to this limitation.

Omnivorous Species have the Inate advantage Of being able to Eat everything thats edible, There societies Can Raise Farmstock and Eat Plants, And due to a surplus of Supplies, They'd naturally be more relaxed And are able to breed Successfully, However they are not Invincible! There succeptable to diseases that herbivores and carnivores can get, And Storing both meat and Plants Can become risky, So medicine and Food preservation is there skill.

Its not hard to imagine how These conditions would Form the Nations and cultures of this anthropomorphic World, But what would allow these Anthro societies to Interact and Such?
Like how humans Began moving In the normal World, Other nations and species would FInd eachother via Technology and Exploration,

Exploration would only get you so far as Climate is a barrier between completley different species, Clothing Transportation and Housing would have to get better should Any one species be able to Interact with another, A limitation that wouldnt be commonly solved till only the past Coulple milenia,

How do you Think these various species and nations will interact as we head into the Era of Growth that Started over 3000 years ago, when anyone was begining to gain the ability...to go anywhere...
