	Evidence suggests that these primitive flocks possessed a very complex social structure. Archeological sites in the Farbrinn region of Skoria have uncovered primitive burial pits and archaic cave art. Apparently the Protoskorr were inclined to inhabit large subterranean caverns. Large pits were uncovered that contained the gnawed bones of prey that comprised the Protoskorr diet. Among the findings there are the remains of other Protoskorr. Whether these individuals were members of the same tribe or of other competing tribes is unknown at this time. The diet of the Protoskorr consisted primarily of meat. A large variety of smaller avians were the central staple of their diet. At this period in their history, there is no indication that the Protoskorr possessed the knowledge of fire or tools beyond the most rudimentary tools needed for survival.

	The Physical form of the Protoskorr varied considerably from that of the modern Skorr and Aurelian. The Protoskorr possessed a smaller, less intimidating beak. The beak was specialized to rend flesh rather than allow a more diverse diet, as is the case with the modem Skorr and Aurelian species. The feathers were coarse and colorless, primarily various shades of gray. This is evidenced by the vast number of petrified feathers that have been recovered from this era in [[Skorr]]/[[Aurelian]] History. The spine of the Protoskorr was shorter and curved in such a manner as to force the Protoskorr into a crouched position. This may have been a direct result of nesting choices. The choice of nesting inside of caverns created a sense of confinement that may have unwittingly forced this unique environmental adaptation. This theory holds true, when you compare later, farther evolved Skorr with the Protoskorr. As the latter species of Skorr do not possess this curved spine and do not nest in subterranean caverns, it is supposed that the unique curved spine is indeed a product of environmental evolution.

	New evidence suggests that the Eremaskorr also had a keen interest in Astronomy. This theory is supported by the precise orientation that their major architectural structures possess. Each major structure is perfectly aligned with the rising of the summer ~~[[star\|~~sun]]. While this is not unique among ancient civilizations, it does show an advanced mathematical aptitude and a distinct interest in the universe that they inhabited.

	Where the Eremaskorr were the engineering geniuses of the ancient [[Skorr]] world and responsible for the proliferation of ideas and science, they are not the species that was the mainstay of the evolutionary cycle on [[Skoria]]. That distinction belonged to the Neoroskorr.

	The Manumit evolved over a series of millennia. Each successive generation got smarter and cleverer. The arms and legs lengthened, and the wings compensated for the difference in size. Eventually the body adapted itself towards flight. The bones of the Manumit grew honeycombed and hollow, reducing weight and allowing the creatures to grow bigger. The Manumit also shed its hair-like structures in favor of feathers for aerodynamic reasons. The reptilian ridge that formed the mouth of the beast became extended and hardened. Eventually this structure would become the powerful beak that dominates the [[Skorr]] and [[Aurelian]] facial features. All of these changes took place over the course of approximately 100 million years; the end result was something completely different.		The Manumit evolved over a series of millennia.

	After almost 200 million years, the first exothermic creatures crawled out of the sludge and stared at the stars and the skies for the first time. These early creatures called Erothropes were incapable of long-term survival away from the pools that spawned them. They were blind, deaf and could only locate food through an acute sense of vibration. The Earliest recorded fossils of Erothropes suggest that the creatures were hardly capable of movement outside of the liquid medium that they were born into. These fossils are not widespread, and so many of the fossils vary within only a few kilometers that Paleontologists believe the Erothrope to be specifically adapted to their particular pool of sludge and slime. These odd creatures were so specialized that the slightest contact with a sludge pool other than their own would be fatal to them. It seemed the interaction between pools was limited to an occasional mixing among pools caused by changes in weather and water patterns. During the formative period that the Erothropes flourished massive changes in the chemical compositions of their pools nearly destroyed them in their entirety. In fact, the species was so nearly destroyed by the primal conditions that the population is believed to have numbered only a few hundred thousand worldwide.

	The Physical form of the Protoskorr varied considerably from that of the modem Skorr and Aurelian. The Protoskorr possessed a smaller, less intimidating beak. The beak was specialized to rend flesh rather than allow a more diverse diet, as is the case with the modem Skorr and Aurelian species. The feathers were coarse and colorless, primarily various shades of gray. This is evidenced by the vast number of petrified feathers that have been recovered from this era in Skorr/Aurelian History. The spine of the Protoskorr was shorter and curved in such a manner as to force the Protoskorr into a crouched position. This may have been a direct result of nesting choices. The choice of nesting inside of caverns created a sense of confinement that may have unwittingly forced this unique environmental adaptation. This theory holds true, when you compare later, farther evolved Skorr with the Protoskorr. As the latter species of Skorr do not possess this curved spine and do not nest in subterranean caverns, it is supposed that the unique curved spine is indeed a product of environmental evolution.

	In the entire known Alpha Quadrant Only the Skorr and the Aurelians actually evolved wings, arms and legs. The small creature that they originated from used the primitive limbs to climb high into trees. From his newly acquired lofty perch the Manumit would glide down to the ground or to other nearby trees. The creature originally was covered by thick fur, and possessed the warm-blooded aspects of an avian. Only after several hundred years of evolution did the creature eventually develop the strength in its wings to allow for flight. At first, even this was difficult to accomplish, as the skeleton of the Manumit was still quite heavy. As the struggle for survival, brought about by global ecological disaster, became more desperate, the Manumit developed primitive tool using ability. These newly acquired skills would prove to be the decisive edge needed to survive the test of time.
