'''B'asha''manune''''' were a variety of [[human]] that evolved on [[Erde-Tyrene]] over the course of nine thousand years following the [[Librarian]]'s relocation of survivors of the last [[Human-Forerunner wars|war]] against the [[Forerunner]]s to their race's ancestral homeworld.<ref name="HC1">''[[Halo: Cryptum]]'', ''Chapter 1''</ref> | '''B'asha''manune''''' were a variety of [[human]] that evolved on [[Erde-Tyrene]] over the course of nine thousand years following the [[Librarian]]'s relocation of survivors of the last [[Human-Forerunner wars|war]] against the [[Forerunner]]s to their race's ancestral homeworld.<ref name="HC1">''[[Halo: Cryptum]]'', ''Chapter 1''</ref> | ||

B' | B'ashamanune were skinny and lithe.<ref name="HC1"/> They resided in East [[Africa]] in the days which preceded the [[Great Purification|firing]] of the [[Halo Array|Halo rings]] in [[97,445 BCE]], just over an imposing range of mountains not far from [[Djamonkin Crater|Djamonkin Augh]].<ref name="HC1"/><ref name="CF9">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-array-with-words '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Array With Words'']</ref> There, they scampered across equatorial grasslands and leaped into thorny trees to escape predators.<ref name="HC1"/> Some chose to build crude cities, as if struggling to require past greatness—but failed miserably.<ref name="HC1"/> | ||

B' | B'ashamanune have only been mentioned once, within the first book of ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]'', ''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''.<ref name="HC1"/><ref name="GB"/> When author [[Greg Bear]] was asked if he had any particular real-world species in mind when he described them, he said he may have been referring to to members of the genus ''[[Wikipedia:Australopithecus|Australopithecus]]'' or perhaps another variety of [[Wikipedia:Australopithecine|australopithecine]] [[Wikipedia:Hominidae|hominid]].<ref name="GB"/> As he was asked this over six years since publishing ''Cryptum'', however, he claimed he was not then entirely sure what his intentions had been.<ref name="GB">[https://www.gregbear.com/board/thread.php?id=483 '''Discussion Board''' - ''b'asha''manune'''']</ref> Scientific evidence demonstrates that australopithecines went [[Extinction|extinct]] around 1.2 million years ago and while closely related to humans, were not human themselves, as they did not belong to the genus ''[[Wikipedia:Homo|Homo]]''.<ref name="EB">[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Australopithecus '''Encyclopedia Britannica''' - ''Australopithecus'']</ref> | ||
