Homo erectus

"Look! - using language primitive signs, the bellwether tribe "Java" named Erec pointed out hand on approaching strangers another tribe, and all in tribe "Java" prepared defend its territory (both tribe lived 200 thousands of years ago).

"Take everything you can get by your hands!" - the heir to the Java leader named chromosome signaled, and EREC approved of the chromosome's action.

"Don't be afraid!  comrade Mitohi-a young female of the Java tribe-was encouraged, and the strangers attacked the Java tribe.

In the bloody struggle for territory, almost everyone in the Java tribe died except chromosome and Mitohi, who together escaped from the pursuing aliens. Finally, when the strangers were left behind, they decided to rest:

"They're not, they're not... - with tears on the eyes of desperately repeated Mitohi, knowing, that its tribe more not there is.

"It'll be all right!""- was supported by chromosome and hugged Mitohi.

"What shall we do?" Mitohi asked hopelessly.

"Go and find a new home," chromosome said.

As chromosome had said, they went in search of their new home. During the day they ate familiar berries and roots and hunted small animals, and sometimes found the remains of dead rhinos, giraffes, elephants, and other large animals, roasting them on the fire they obtained, because they could not kill large animals themselves. At night they slept in empty caves or in tall trees so that predators could not kill them.

Tired of the constant journey, Mitohi asked chromosome to rest for a while, and they stopped near trees with edible leaves, and chromosome knew that this journey would end someday if they did not find a safe haven.

"I'm very tired.".. he sighed.

"Be patient a little longer!" Chromosome replied, understanding their futile attempts to survive.

"What will happen to us? Will we be eaten?"   Mitohi asked anxiously.

"We'll live!""I promise you!"  The chromosome answered with certainty. – And you will raise your children, and your children will have their children!"- And it will never stop!

"Why won't it ever stop?" Mitohi asked.

"Because you are a child from Java, and your future children are children from Java," chromosome explained.

"You're right!  Mitohi happily agreed, but in this moment on them fell pillar white of light, from which they could not escape. Mitochondria and chromosome looked up and saw a black circle in which they were rising through the air.

"What's going on?""!   Mitohi cried in panic.

"I don't know!  chromosome said in panic.

The mitochondria and the chromosome came into contact with the black circle with horror and lost consciousness. But when they came to their senses, they had new mysteries to solve.

"Where are we?" Mitohi asked, not understanding what was happening.

-Have no idea. But you see what I see?   Chromosome asked incredulously.

"I see ordinary trees everywhere!"  "Obviously," mitohi said.

"No, look up!" Chromosome said in surprise.

"I see a white sky without sun or clouds!" Mitohi said in surprise.

"That's right, now look what's behind you!""The chromosome pointed, and mitohi saw what seemed to Her a very strange "white spot" against the trees, and next to this "white spot" lay the meat that they ran to eat.

"Try to touch that white spot!""Mitochi told the chromosome, and when he touched the white spot, the chromosome felt resistance.

"I don't know what that' strange white spot ' is!""? But next to him is tasty meat!   Chromosome said.

- That's it!   Mitohi said, licking her fingers.

"Do you see the' strange stones 'on the other side of this 'strange place'?" chromosome was again surprised by what he saw.

"I also see near these 'stones' a strange large tree, from the branches of which hang 'strange red berries'! Mitohi said.

"Shall we try to get them?" Chromosome asked, wanting to eat the berries."

-And if you will not be able to eat them because they are poisonous?"- the fear of Mitohi.

"You're right! But let's at least touch them! They are so beautiful! "I couldn't resist the temptation of chromosomes."

"But we'll just touch them! Warned about Mitohi."

- Yes!  The chromosome agreed, and when they came to a" strange tree "with" strange red berries "on its branches, the chromosome could not reach the"strange red berry"."

"Oh, she is so near and so far away! – angrily said the Chromosome and Mitohi sat down on a nearby "stones." At this point, a creature unknown to chromosome and Mitochi came out of the white spot and put the meat next to the white spot, and chromosome and Mitochi were very scared, not understanding who was in front of him.

"Who was that?" Mitohi asked, puzzled.

-Have no idea. But it doesn't seem intimidating to me, because he brought meat!  The chromosome decided, and they ran to the white spot to eat the meat.

"Maybe that's what created this 'strange place'!" Mitohi said, pleased with the delicious meat.

"I suppose so!"the smiling chromosome confirmed as it chewed the last of the meat. "This place reminds me of the place where we lived with our Java tribe.

"You're right!  agreed Mitohi and sadness on her face remembered their fallen brothers in the tribe of "Java".

"Well, let's try the strange red berry again!" The chromosome was eager to touch the strange red berry again.

"For the last time!""Mitohi concluded, but as soon as the chromosome came to the" strange tree "and reached for the long-awaited "berry" and Mitohi sat down again on the "stones", the same creature again came out of the "white spot" and again brought them a piece of meat.

"Did you notice that as soon as we get to the tree,' it 'comes out of the 'white spot'?" Mitohi exclaimed, and they didn't run to the white spot because they were full.

"To business! - agreed to the chromosome and continued the thought. "Maybe' it 'wants us to get that 'strange red berry'?""

- That's it!  Mitohi agreed. – But where did you get that 'strange red berry'?""!

"I have a crazy idea that these stones lying next to you will help us!""- made the discovery of the chromosome, and they hastily put these "stones" on top of each other to get to the right " strange red berries." When the chromosome reached the target, he offered to eat "this strange red berry" Mitohi, and Mitohi lustfully bit off a piece of this "strange red berry" and in response offered to eat his chromosome. At that moment the "white spot" opened again, but the creature did not appear. However, without thinking twice, the chromosome and Mitochondria ran through this "white spot" to the will and again lost consciousness. Once in the same place-where they were "kidnapped", they noticed some changes in their appearance.

"Did you notice that after you ate that' strange red berry, ' your hair fell out on some parts of your body?" Mitohi said.

"And you, too!" Chromosome said.

- Also you have changed the lower part of the face!    Mitohi said.

-And you, too! Chromosome said.

"And your fangs have shrunk!" Mitohi said.

-And you, too! Chromosome said.

"What happened to us?" Mitohi asked.

-Have no idea. But I like this transformation!   Chromosome said and smiled.

"Where do we go next?"Mitoki asked uncertainly.

"We're going into the future!" Chromosome replied slyly.

"I like the way you say the word 'future, '" Mitohi said. "Although the most amazing thing is that you said it!""

- That's it!   Chromosome said, and took Mitochi's hand to find his future and the future of the human race.
