| ==Overview==
| | '''B'ashamanune''' was a name used to refer to a species of [[human]] by other humans and the [[Forerunners]]. The species lived in the equatorial grasslands of [[Erde-Tyrene]] during the Forerunner era, and were described as skinny and lithe.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/text/cryptum-glossary/62e29c59-a3f9-4b63-af76-def71fda5459 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo: Cryptum Glossary'']</ref> |

| B'asha''manune'' have only been mentioned once, within the first book of ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]'', ''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|HC1}}{{Ref/Reuse|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 members of the genus ''[[Wikipedia:Australopithecus|Australopithecus]]'' or perhaps another variety of [[Wikipedia:Australopithecine|australopithecine]] [[Wikipedia:Hominidae|hominid]].{{Ref/Reuse|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><ref name="EG">[https://www.engadget.com/2010/10/11/halo-cryptum-novel-by-greg-bear-launching-in-jan-2011/ '''engadget''' - ''Halo: Cryptum novel by Greg Bear launching in Jan. 2011'']</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>
