If I recall correctly... The Easterners were there before Dragaerans, and they (Dragaerans) have been around for a couple hundred-thousand years. As the humans were there before the Jenoine came along, I'd suspect the humans have been around for even longer. Maybe they weren't as technologicaly-savvy as we on earth (heh.) Or maybe the Jenoine bred some intelligence into them the way they did with the Jhereg!! Hey! Maybe we've found the Missing Link!! <grin> ~Chris "So farewell hope, and with hope, farewell fear, Farewell remorse! All good to me is lost; Evil, be thou my Good" - John Milton - 'Paradise Lost'
