![]() One such Ape is our Earth Girl, 18-year-old Jarra, a fiercely intelligent, ambitious and immensely likeable girl who wants nothing more than to be an archaeological explorer of Earth’s past, to be proud and independent as she grows and to be the best that she can possibly be. These Earth-chained humans are Apes or Neanderthals, tolerated and patronised. Born off planet, the only action that can save their lives as newborns is an emergency immediate portal to Earth, sometimes with their parents, often without. Some are tied to Earth due to a genetic mishap which renders them allergic to life beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Unfortunately, not everyone can make their escape. Of course, Earth’s historical past might be revered but its present is far less appealing and so, at the end of their studies, the young will make the portal journey back to their adopted planet. The celebrities of this age, the winners of medals and acclaim, are TV historians. Intriguingly, then, the young aspire to be historians and archaeologists. Much of humanity might have left Earth but one thing they cannot shake off is a sense of fascination for their past. Earth itself has become little more than a subject of study for its colonists who have abandoned the planet for others great distances away, now settled and terraformed and all linked together with portals. ![]()
