Earth was chosen to become a prison planet

Our treacherous and murderous ways remain a very real threat to peace in the universe.

The planet Earth was chosen to become a prison because of its remote location and the ability to support hominid lifeforms. Each “race” of our ancestors were placed on different continents, selected for similarities to their former climatic environments. Even though the races varied in language, size, shape and color, all were Cro-Magnons. Acting entirely on primal human instinct, our ancestors not only survived, they thrived. They immediately began to dominate everything that came into their path. The sudden terrestrial appearance of modern man was on a scale so large that it allowed Cro-Magnoids to drive Neanderthals, who had been at the top of Earth’s food chain for well over 200,000 years, to global extinction within a few thousand years.

Before being placed on Earth, our ancestors were stripped of all memory of their former lives, reducing them to a primal state. It was believed that they would remain primal, co-existing by building relationships, and possibly interbreeding, with Earth's native homonoid species. It was a belief that was proven very wrong. For a short time it appeared as though the Cro-magnon exile was proceeding as planned, but within 1,000 years reports began to began to flood in that perhaps serious oversights had been made. The assumption of primal reversion was shattered when our ancestors began creating a world that was a microcosm of interstellar civilization. The Earth, for the first time in its history, became witness to art, architecture, animal husbandry, agriculture, written languages, advanced mathematics, technology, law, religion and government. It also became witness to the atrocities of modern man.

Testing revealed that the intellectual and technological developments of our ancestors were the result of genetic memory, a factor that had somehow been overlooked.

This factor set off heated activity by two opposing groups in intergalactic society. One group called for the immediate extermination of our ancestors before they “remembered” to the point were they could achieve interstellar flight and possibly re-infect intergalactic civilization. The other sought to guide their development. An impasse was reached and all contact was again forbidden. Enforcement of the contact ban with the prison planet was established, with covert observation and assessments continuing at designated intervals - until July 16, 1945. From that fateful day until now, assessments decreased, but observation increased dramatically.
