There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Maybe the Fossilis-Atrox lineage was the first migration wave out of Africa.

The Spelaea lineage was the second migration group after the later interglacial period.

The Leo lineage was the third one to appear, but it is not as widely spread as the previous two.

Because of the long glacial period, no genetic exchange for a such long period, that would make Spelaea and Fossilis-Atrox not interbreedable in the wild.

According to Guate's info, the Spelaea lineage and the Leo lineage has been split for over 600kya, then the time gap between the Fossilis-Atrox lineage and the Leo lineage could be even greater.
