Humans have never had a genuine reference point with regards to their abilities as sapient creatures. Being the only intelligent life form on their home planet, there were no other species with which they could compare their art, culture, personality traits, or intelligence. However, they knew little of their history. You see, humans are actually the most intelligent species in their galaxy by a long shot. Their rates of advancement far outpace even the most ambitious and aggressive races in the Orion spiral arm. Also unknown to them, their entire genetic lineage can be traced back to an anomaly. Humans were actually created by an ancient race that has currently ascended. What happens when these geniuses make first contact with their creators? How will the galaxy react to their presence? Does the impact of humanity know any bounds? These are the questions that will be answered in The Rise of Humanity.
