Humans

Humans (also known as the Human Race or Mankind) are an extinct species in Penguins: Defenders of Antarctica. Due to negligence, war, corruption, and climate change, they made Planet Earth inhospitable and were forced to move to Antarctica where they created The Legend and subsequently went extinct.

History
Several billion years ago, the Human Race was created and quickly filled the globe with riches as the dominant species.

Eventually, they became too powerful for their own good and rendered Earth inhospitable. The last of the humans moved to Antarctica, waiting to die. Somewhere during this time frame, the humans gained unknown powers that allowed them to pass on their intelligence to the Animal Tribes, raise the Black Mountains, and hide the Beacon. How they achieved this is currently unknown. They then imparted The Legend to the Animal Tribes.

At this point, the Humans went extinct.

Legacy

 * The Human Language of Japanese has been changed, mangled and adopted by the Penguin Tribe.
 * Human systems of government and political ideology such as democracy, socialism, capitalism, and militarism were adopted by the Animal Tribes.
 * Human inventions such as cities, airships, submarines, militaries, and glass have been adopted by the Animal Tribes.

Trivia

 * Humans are described as "dark" and "evil" by the Penguin Tribe and in promotional material.
 * The extinction of the Human Race is likely due to recurring themes of fatalism in works by Alpha Yu, the author and artist of Penguins: Defenders of Antarctica.
