Millions of years have passed since the last mammal roamed the planet. Only the most primitive of species survived the fallout. Centuries of evolution gave rise to advanced societies the likes of which the world has never seen. But in their haste to prove their dominance, they have doomed themselves to repeat humanity's mistake. Now, the battle begins over who will inherit the earth.
