 ===== Introduction ================================================ 01.00 ====

     Humans are stupid.  Humans are pink and squishy.  Humans will fail unless
you guide their every movement.  So, what we have here is an extremely cut-down
version of the original, so much so, it's actually missing fifty-two levels.
However, it's still an extremely fun game, done in the best possible humour.


 ===== Walkthrough ================================================= 02.00 ====

     At any point during a level (not 1, 7, or 21), press Down + Select to open
the Shaman menu.  On this screen, you can purchase items for the low, low price
of a Human sacrifice.  Talk about costing an arm and a leg.  If purchasing an
item would lower the available tribe below the minimum required to complete a
level, you won't be able to purchase anything.

Speaking of available tribe; the higher the difficulty, the fewer men you have
to work with.  On Easy (1), you'll have 12, but on Medium (2) and Hard (3), you
will have 10 and 8 respectively.  Any level that ends with you rescuing a Human
(not the Shaman) will add an extra man to your tribe.  (5, 6, 19, 22, and 26)


 ----- Prehistoric Age --------------------------------------------- 02.01 ----

 ----- Level 1 - Let's Get the Spear ------------------------------- 02.02 ----

     Needed: 4
   Password: XXXX

          2: 0461
          3: 0211
       Shop: Unavailable

     Take your first Human and send him left.  Stack him against the ledge (the
second option) and switch to someone else.  This little fella can now use his
friend as a squishy, pink ladder, allowing him to get past the ledge.  Keep on
heading up and right until the chance to stack attacks, then do just that.
So, what you have now, is two man-ladders.

As you've noticed, the last Human is stacked against a slightly higher barrier.
This means you need to take your next Human of choice and stack him on his
shoulders.  Your super-awesome-final Human can now scale the dizzy heights of a
double man-ladder and retrieve the Spear (pick it up using the first option).


 ----- Level 2 - Let's Get the Torch ------------------------------- 02.03 ----

     Needed: 5
   Password: CVBM
       Time:
          1: 0826
          2: 0576
          3: 0326
       Shop: Spear

     Send your first hapless pawn right and stack them against the ledge.
Like before, your next victim can use his friend as a ladder - go on, do it.
Grab the Spear and vault the gap (the third option), then throw it back over
for the others (the fourth option).  Now, send them up the ladder and have them
stack against the ledge to the left.  To your right, mi amigos, is a spare
Spear.  Do with it as you will.

Bring the rest of your crack team across the gap in the same manner (the last
one across doesn't need to throw the Spear back over, but if you're worried
about dropping dead, it might not be such a bad idea).  Once everyone is up the
ladder, send your next pink squish-bag left.  Simply follow the path and stack
when required.  Boringly enough, the next Human finds himself having to do the
exact same thing.

Your final pick has a little more to do.  Once he's past the rest of his team,
drop down and continue along to the end of the platform.  Along the bottom-
right of the screen, you should just about make out the top of another platform
(feel free to scroll the screen to have a better look).  You need to vault over
to it, but to do so without getting all flat, the power bar needs to be almost
full.  At the top of the ladder and to the right is your prize - the Torch.


 ----- Level 3 - Nobody Steals Our Idol ---------------------------- 02.04 ----

     Needed: 4

          2: 0706
          3: 0456
       Shop: Spear, Torch

     Have someone grab the Spear and scale the ladder.  If you can't already
tell, there's some vaulting to be done.  Once you've reached the far side, make
sure to drop the Spear over the edge so the others can retrieve it.  You need
to repeat this until they're all across.

Send someone up the ladder here and grab the Spear.  Vault the gap, then throw
it back over, like only you know how.  Is everyone over?  Of course they are.
Choose a random Human to send up the ladder to the right.  His cruel fate is to
be stacked against that ledge.  His more popular friend gets to scale the same
ladder as well as grabbing the Torch along the way.  Not far to the left is a
bush - burn it down (third option), then stack next to the ledge just behind
it.  All your favourite Human has to do is make his way to the top of the level
and vault one final gap to reach the Idol.


 ----- Level 4 - Let's Get the Rope -------------------------------- 02.05 ----

     Needed: 4
   Password: PLKP
       Time:
          1: 1000
          2: 0750
          3: 0500
       Shop: Spear, Torch

     Player One: Choose your player!  Pink Squish-bag selected.  Climb the
ladder to the left and follow the path all the way round.  At the top of the
next ladder, drop into the pit and stack against the ledge on the other side.
Your next Human needs to be stacked against the ledge to the right of the start
point.  With the man-ladder in place, your next selection should drop into the
pit and stack against the far ledge.

You can now head all the way to the right and retrieve a Spear (there are two).
Take the Spear back to the left and drop it near the first Human (just vault
over that pit, by the way, saves time).  This Human's new mission is to stand
here.  Switch to the Human you dropped the Spear next to and take said Spear
left and up the ladder.

At the top, vault the gap to reach the Torch.  You can't carry both back,
despite having two arms, so drop the Torch over the edge and use the Spear to
get back down.  Meanwhile, in the pit below, the Human needs to stack against
the other side to allow the guy with the Torch to get out.  So, with the Torch
in hand, trundle back down to the bottom and stack next to the ledge you were
at before.

The guy who was just killing time, was killing time just for this moment.
Take the Torch and head right.  When you get to the pit, throw it across and
use the Spear to follow it.  At the top of the ladder, there's another gap to
send the Torch and yourself sailing across, then another after that.  Burn the
bush down, then climb the ladder and do the same with the next one.  Have a
slow walk back for the Spear now, then head back up and vault the final gap
to reach the Rope.


 ----- Level 5 - Let's Get Our Friend ------------------------------ 02.06 ----

     Needed: 4
   Password: MNBV
       Time:
          1: 1088
          2: 0838
          3: 0588
       Shop: Spear, Torch

     Send your first victim up the ladder to the right, then drop him into the
pit and stack him against the far ledge.  As the next Human, climb that very
same ladder, but make sure to stop for the Spear along the way.  Head beyond
the first Human and vault the gaps.  On the platform above you are two Torches.
Take one of them and throw it over to the left, then take the other and throw
it over to the right.

You can't head back exactly the same way as you came, due to the ledge blocking
your path, but you *can* vault off this platform and over to the right (you'll
land safely, despite the size of the drop).  Back in the pit, you'll have to
re-stack your man-ladder over at the other side to allow the Torch-bearer to
escape.

Take the Torch down the ladder and all the way to the left, then climb the
ladder and stack next to the ledge to the right.  Bring up your next Human and
throw the Torch across the gap.  The next member of the team needs to retrieve
the Spear and join up with his comrades.  Once you're all together again, vault
the gap and burn the bush down, then throw the Spear back over for your friend.

Keep following the path, vaulting the gaps and burning down any bushes that
affront your sensibilities until you reach a pit.  One of you needs to drop
into it and stack against the far ledge.  At the other side of the pit, vault
the gap.  At the top of the ladder is a dinosaur - simply keep your distance
and throw the Spear at it.  While I'm here, I may as well tell you something
fun.  Dinosaurs and other such creatures will crush any Human standing below
them as they fall off the screen.  Behind the bush to the left is the friend
you seek.


 ----- Level 6 - Jump Over Dinosaur -------------------------------- 02.07 ----

       Shop: Wheel, Torch

     Take the Torch and burn the bush down, then climb down the ladder.  At the
bottom, you'll find a Wheel.  The idea is to use the Wheel to jump the chasm
situated at the bottom of the really big slope.  Build up speed by holding a
direction, then use B to jump once you've reached the very edge of the slope
(once you see the Wheel go over the little bump).  Should you happen to drop
dead (literally), there's a spare Wheel near the bottom of the slope.  Once you
reach the other side, just roll over to your friend to exit the level.


 ----- Level 7 - Rescue the Shaman --------------------------------- 02.08 ----

     Needed: 4
   Password: ZXVZ

       Shop: Unavailable

     First up, climb the ladder to the right and stack next to the cliff.
You need three for this bit, so bring the next two up.  As the last remaining
Human, climb the massive stack of pinkness and grab the Rope.  Lower the Rope
(the second option) and bring your next Human up here, drop them into the hole,
and stack them against the far ledge.  Now, as someone else, grab the Spear
from beyond the pit, then climb back down the Rope.  Vault the pit to the left
of the start point, then throw the Spear back over for someone else.

Make use of the Rope to remove the man-ladder from the pit, then lower it back
down the cliff for him.  The tale of this Human and his Rope is at an end -
drop it down to the others.  Send the Rope across the gap to the left of the
start point, then use the Spear to join up with your friends.  With all three
of you across, you'll have to partake in one more such jump.  Head up the
ladder with whoever you feel like and drop into the pit before stacking against
the far ledge.

As the next Human (Spear in hand), head  past your last Human and vault the
gaps at the top of ladder.  Once you don't need the guy in the pit any more, be
sure to retrieve him with the Rope.  Oh, and don't forget to have someone bring
that Torch.  Once everyone is across, climb the ladder.  At the top, ignore the
dinosaur, as it can't actually bother you where it is.  Climb the ladder, Torch
in hand, and throw it across the gap.  Return for the Spear and vault that very
gap, being sure to throw the Spear back over for your friends.  Yeah, and don't
forget the Rope.

Once everyone is at the other side, lower the Rope over the edge to the right.
Before you climb down it, take the Torch and give it a hard throw to the right.
For now, ignore the extra Spear, and climb down the Rope.  After the first
Human is across the gap, drop the Rope down to the one that didn't make the
jump.  Now, grab the Spear and head back across the platforms.  Kill of the
dinosaur and drop into the pit and head right.  Retrieve him from the pit with
the Rope, then get them across the gap.

Kill the dinosaur, then take the Rope and lower it over the ledge to the right.
Send both Humans down the Rope, then drop it down to them.  From here, lower it
over the edge to the right so that the last remaining Human can climb down to
reach the Shaman.


 ----- Level 8 - Visit a Girly ------------------------------------- 02.09 ----

          2: 0426
          3: 0176
       Shop: Spear, Torch, Wheel

     Open the Shaman menu and purchase a Wheel.  This bit is quite hard, as you
need to make two consecutive jumps.  If you should fall, you're obviously going
to die, losing the Wheel in the process.  After the second jump, climb down the
ladder and purchase another Wheel.  The next two jumps could be done with a
Spear, but the second jump has an annoying little ledge to stop you from living
to regret an attempt.

Climb down the ladders and grab the Torch, then burn the bush down.  Return for
a Spear and throw it over the gap.  Return for the second Spear and vault over.
Drop both Spears down to the other Human, then take the Rope and lower it down.
Have the other one grab a Spear and climb down the Rope.  The dinosaur takes
two Spears to kill, so do just that, then head right to finish level.


 ----- Level 9 - Feed the God -------------------------------------- 02.10 ----

     Needed: 5
   Password: PYST
       Time:
          1: 1080
          2: 0830
          3: 0580
       Shop: Spear

     Climb the ladder and drop into the pit to the left, and then stack against
the far wall.  As the next Human, head past the first one, then stack against
the ledge to the left.  Continue the tradition and take your third Human past
the first two.  This time, there's a ladder to descend - do it, duh.  Climb the
ladder to the left, then follow the path around, climbing whatever ladders come
your way.  Collect the Rope and drop it over the edge to the right.

Have someone collect the Rope and make their way over to the Human in the pit
and give him a helping hand.  Once he's out, follow the same path round as
before, but have him climb the ladder before the Rope.  At the top of the
ladder, head right, down the ledges, to reach the Spear.  After pulling up the
other Human here, take the Rope and help him make his way back up.

Head left with the Spear and climb the ladder, then stick the pointy end in the
dinosaur's face.  Grab the other Spear and continue up and right.  Vault over
the pool of water and throw the Spear back over.  The guy with the Rope should
throw it over the pool and vault after it using the Spear.  Now, drop down and
vault the gap, then throw the Spear back over.  Have your other Human do the
same, but make sure he throws the Rope over first.  Once the second Human is
over, stack him against the ledge.

Climb down the ladder to the right and drop the Rope over the edge, then take
the Spear and vault across the gap.  Take the Rope and climb down the ladder.
Lower the Rope down to the left, then have the nearby Human climb down to reach
the food.


 ----- Level 10 - Rescue Fido -------------------------------------- 02.11 ----

     Needed: 5
   Password: LKLQ
       Time:
          1: 1740
          2: 1490
          3: 1240
       Shop: Spear, Torch

     Head right and stack next to the ledge at the bottom.  Your next Human
should grab the Spear and continue right.  Vault the gap and throw the Spear
back across.  Your remaining Human on that side needs to retrieve the Spear and
join him.  With Spear in hand, head right and climb down the ladder.  There's a
dinosaur just across the gap and a Spear on the ground.  Nail the dinosaur from
across the gap with the first Spear, then vault over with the second one.
Don't worry, you're safe where you land - the dinosaur isn't, so finish it off.

Head to the left and grab the Torch.  Down the ladder to the left of it is a
bush that needs igniting.  Behind it is a Spear that'll be needed a little
later.  Take the Torch back to the gap where the dinosaur was and throw it
over.  Return for the Spear and vault back over the gap.  Burn the bush that's
sitting at the top of the ladder you passed earlier - this frees two of your
friends and a Rope.  You don't need the Torch, so ditch it for the Rope.

No man gets left behind, so throw the Rope over the gap to the left and have
someone vault after it before throwing the Spear back over for a second Human.
After the rescue attempt, you'll have three Humans that need to find their way
back across the gap.  A little awkward, but needed.

The Rope now needs to be lowered over the edge of the gap at the bottom of the
second ladder.  Have your other three Humans climb down the Rope, making sure
one of them grabs the Spear.  Once they're down, drop the Rope after them and
have someone lower it over the edge to the right.  Again, make your remaining
Humans climb down, making sure not to neglect the Spear.  Drop the Rope down
to your remaining Humans and have someone lower it over the edge to the left.

What you'll have now is two spare Humans, a Spear, and a dinosaur at the bottom
of the Rope.  Take care of the dinosaur (make sure to take the Rope with you).
With the Rope, you can navigate the next few ledges by stacking one Human and
retrieving them with the Rope.  At the end, lower the Rope down the cliff and
approach the dinosaur.


 ----- Level 11 - Visit a Friend ----------------------------------- 02.12 ----

          3: 1066
       Shop: Spear, Torch

     You need a Torch, however, there isn't one.  Pay a quick visit to your
friendly neighbourhood Shaman and purchase one.  The bush you need to burn down
can found by climbing the ladder to the left - can't really miss it.  Grab the
Spear and vault across the gap.  At the top of the ladder in front of you is a
much-needed Rope.  Take said Rope and drop it down to your friends below.
Vault the gap found at the bottom of the second ladder and you'll find yourself
back where you were.

Climb the ladder all the way to the top and stack yourself next to the ledge on
the right.  Have another Human come up to you, making sure he brings the Rope.
Once you've climbed over your friend, don't bother dropping into the pit and
stacking, simply use the Spear to vault over to the second Spear, then throw
one back over and use the other to get back yourself.

With both Spears retrieved, take the Rope and throw it across the gap to the
left.  Obviously, you'll need to throw yourself across the gap, too, so go grab
a Spear and do just that.  You can't get any further at this moment in time, so
stack yourself neatly against the ledge.  Using the second Spear, you need to
get all the other Humans across this gap by throwing it backwards and forwards.

With everyone over the gap and up on the ledge, have someone lower the Rope so
you can retrieve the stacked Human.  Once that's done, lower the Rope down the
big cliff to the left and have all your Humans climb down (make sure to bring
your Spears along).  At the bottom, someone will need to stack again.  The guy
on the cliff is of no further use to you, so have him drop the Rope down.
Once you're up there, don't forget to lower the Rope for the stacked Human.

At the bottom of the ladder, you'll be presented with a gap with a dinosaur on
the other side.  Vault over and stick your Spear up its nose, then bring your
other Humans across the gap with the second Spear (don't forget the Rope).
At the bottom of the next ladder, vault over the gap, then throw the Spear back
over for your friends before stacking against the nearby ledge.  With  everyone
up on the ledge, be sure to lower the Rope for the unfortunate man-ladder.

You surely can't fail to notice the Spear a little way from you, so make sure
that someone grabs that.  If you weren't paying attention, you'll now have two
Spears and a Rope as luggage.  To continue, you'll need to lower the Rope over
the platform to the left.  To get off the platform you land on, you'll need to
drop the Rope down and say goodbye to another Human.  At the bottom of this
platform, you'll find one final dinosaur - this one takes both Spears to kill.
Once it's dead, just keep heading right to finish the level.

     One lone Human he be, all by himself, got nobody.  Follow the path all the
way around to the right and grab the Torch at the end.  All the way to the left
of the level is the bush that needs burning.  Behind it, you'll find a ladder
leading to three Spears.  After you've burned the bush and before you start
arming yourself, start heading down.  Once you reach the dinosaur, just drop
the Torch and return for one of the Spears.

Once you've wasted said dinosaur, just keep plodding right with Torch in hand.
Behind the bush that jumps out at you, you'll find another dinosaur, which
requires another walk back for a Spear.  Just behind the dinosaur is one final
bush that needs defoliating.  After that, just walk over to the river to finish
things off.

     Shove one of your Humans into the hole and have him stack against the
ledge.  Once you've gotten the rest of your team past him, use the Rope to get
him out (you don't actually need him, but he makes a handy substitution should
you lose somebody).  To the left, you'll need to put the Rope to work once more
so you can get down the cliff safely.  The pit at the bottom requires you to
stack two Humans next to the ledge to get out.  The Human holding the Rope is
useless now, so drop the Rope down to someone else and use it to get the
stacked Humans out of the pit.

On the ledge are two Spears, one of which needs to be used to kill the dinosaur
you see before you.  This next bit is far trickier, as you need to not only
stack three Humans to get out of the pit, you need to have them all stand on a
tiny platform.  Once they're all on the platform (hopefully, you remembered the
Spear), you need to lower the Rope down the other side.  Again, the Human
lowering the Rope is stuck up there, so drop the Rope down to someone else.

Down the ladder, throw the Rope over the gap and vault after it.  There are two
Spears here, so you can throw them both over (Spears for everyone, hurrah).
After this little bit, there's another two gaps to get both Humans and Rope
over.  Just after the second gap, you'll need to expend one of those Spears on
a dinosaur.  Climb down the ladder and take a look to the right - across the
gap is a Torch.  Vault over and throw it across, then vault back.

Head left now and drop off the cliff.  Just ahead is the first of three bushes
that stand in your way.  After that, you'll have to vault a rather large gap.
Make sure to bring the Torch with you, obviously.  Once you've burned the
second bush down, stack against the ledge, then send your last Human to burn
the final bush down.  The dinosaur behind it requires both Spears to kill.
Once it's gone, keep heading left to finish the level.

     Climb the ladder and grab the Spear.  You need to time your jump so you
land on the moving platform, then time your next jump to get off at the other
side.  The timing, however, isn't hard, and the platform moves rather slowly.
Once across, grab the Torch and throw it across the gap in front if you, then
vault after it.  The bush you need to burn is right at the top of the ladder.
Behind the bush, you'll find a Wheel and a very large run-up to a relatively
small jump.  Once you're across, this level is done.

     Climb the ladder and head left.  When the moving platform comes close,
step on it.  To make things a little awkward, the platform doesn't take you
straight to your destination.  About halfway across, you'll encounter two more
moving platforms; one moving left-to-right like the one you're on, and another
moving up and down.  You need to transfer to the vertically-moving platform in
order to reach the other one.  Here's a fun fact, it doesn't matter how far you
fall onto a moving platform, you won't die (unless you fall off the screen).

On the other side, at the top of the ladder, is a trio of Torches.  You only
need one, but the game expects you to die horribly at least once.  Get back on
the moving platform and transfer to the vertically-moving platform, once you
reach the top, you'll need to transfer to another platform that takes you over
to the right.  Once back on solid ground, climb the ladder and burn the bush
down.  Don't drop into the little pit, just throw the Torch across to your
friend, who can then burn the bush down and walk to the exit.

     Climb down the ladder and step onto the moving platform to the right.
This one meets in the middle with another platform, but only every fourth
trip.  Once across, climb down the ladder and grab the Torch, then follow the
path around to the right and burn the bush down.  At the top of the second
ladder, you'll need to make a quick transfer between two vertically-moving
platforms - it's really easy, don't worry.

Across the other side, you'll find a Spear.  Now, here's a word of warning:
Don't take said Spear and use it to kill the moose.  The moose is in fact our
friend, Elmo.  Killing him will remove the exit to the level.  So, just vault
across and head towards him to finish things up.

     Two Humans on a ledge with a Rope.  You get the idea, right?  Have one
lower the Rope so the other one can climb down.  That's it, his job is done,
and the Rope is of no further use.  Once down the Rope, head left and climb the
ladder.  At the top of which, three Spears are on a family outing.

Grab the Torch to the left and throw it across the gap, then take one of the
Spears and vault after it.  Across the other side, there's a bush to burn.
Once it's out of the way, drop the Torch over the right side of the platform
and vault onto the moving platform with the Spear.

At the bottom, vault the gap and burn the bush down.  You don't need the Torch
now.  Down the ladder and to the right is another chance for you to ride a
moving platform of joy.  However, this one doesn't come right to the edge of
where you're standing, it stops short.  This means you need to time your vault
to land on it.  It's exactly the same for when you want to get off.

At the other side, climb down the ladder and follow the path around to another
Torch.  Don't take it just yet, first, climb down the ladder and ride the
moving platform up - here, you'll no doubt spot a sabre-toothed cat that needs
a Spear between the eyes.  Return for the Torch and continue in the direction
you were heading before things got toothy.  Simply keep heading left until you
are presented with the final bush.  Behind that, you'll find the Idol.

     Head down the ladder and stack against the cliff.  You need another two
Humans stacked here get past.  Once you've done that, have the last available
Human climb up and lower the Rope for the others.  To the right, you'll have to
lower the Rope for your friends.  At the bottom, you'll find two Spears, but
you only need one.  Just ahead is the chance to use it.  The guy with the Rope
can't be left behind this time, so form a stack of Humans and allow him to
climb down.  Use the Spear to get your team across the gap.  Make sure to bring
the Rope.

You'll need to stack against the ledge to get further.  Again, use the Rope to
help your friends up.  Climb down the ladder and head left, then climb down the
second ladder and continue up the next one.  At the top is a Torch - grab it
and head back the way you came.  Head down the ladder you walked past, then
burn the bush and continue down.  At the bottom is a button - stand on it to
raise a gate later in the level.

Take the other Humans past the place where you found the Torch.  The moving
platform at the edge will take you safely to the bottom.  Head left (through
the gate that's being held open) and climb the ladder.  The platform here will
take you up to a second platform.  The danger here is that if you don't switch
platforms at the first given opportunity, you'll be knocked to your death.
That platform will deliver you to the exit.  Simply stack two Humans against
the ledge and have the third climb up to reach the food.

     Head right and stack against the ledge.  Send another Human over to stack
next to the other side of the ledge.  Your last free Human should go get the
Spear.  With Spear in hand, climb the first ladder and vault the gap to the
left.  Grab the Torch and throw it over, then vault back.  Leave the Spear
here.  Take the Torch and burn the bush at the top of the second ladder.

Ride the Wheel down the slope and make a jump towards the button.  The target
platform is small, but you shouldn't have to worry about overshooting.  With a
Human (or the Wheel) sitting safely on the button, have your last remaining
Human climb the first ladder and vault over to the friend you were sent to get.

     Climb to the bottom of the huge ladder to the left and stack against the
ledge to the right.  Send another Human down and stack against the other side
to allow a third Human to collect the Rope and make it back over.  Once you
have the Rope, use it to free the now-trapped Human.

Climb back up the ladder and take the one next to it.  At the top, throw the
Rope across the gap to the left.  Normally, you'd grab a Spear and vault after
it, but there aren't any, so purchase one and, well, vault the gap.  After the
second such jump, climb down the ladder and take the one to the left.  At the
bottom is a mammoth - it's rather angry and takes two hits to get all dead.
Carefully hit it the once and retreat back up the ladder.

Bring another Human across with another store-bought Spear and finish the
mammoth off.  Stack against the ledge to the right and bring down your other
Human to stand on his shoulders.  Bring a third and fourth Human across the
same was as before (share the same Spear).  Over the side of this little cliff,
you will find a Torch.  Don't drop down just yet, use the Rope to pull your
friends up, then have them stack on the other side.  Grab the Torch, then pull
them back out of the pit.

Take someone and stand them on the button in the top-left corner of the level,
this opens the gate behind the bush.  Speaking of which, climb the ladder and
burn the bush down.  The gate stops the sabre-toothed cat from eating you, so
stay behind it and throw the Spear.  With the cat gone, stack two Humans next
the ledge to the right and have another Human climb to the top and grab the
boulder.

     Climb the ladders and hop onto the platform when it arrives.  If the
platform reaches the end of its journey, you're going to get a Spear between
the eyes, or between someone else (depends which way you're facing).  Grab the
Torch from the platform near the top, then step back on the platform as it's on
the way down.

Transfer from this platform to the horizontal-moving one.  Once you reach the
other side, climb down the ladder and stack next to the ledge.  You need to
bring another Human here now.  Once you've gone through the rigmarole, climb
down the ladder and burn the bush.  Don't worry about the moose down the ladder
to the left - that's Elmo.  Climb the ladder and ride the platform across the
gap before climbing another ladder and riding another platform to the left.

At the top of the next ladder, prepare to face your nemesis - the evil Wheel.
The run-up is short, and the result of failure is the same as always.  If you
live, you'll need the Torch again, so throw it across the gap.  Actually, the
price of failure is even higher - if you fall and take the Wheel with you, then
you're screwed, as with the Shaman preoccupied, you won't be able to purchase a
replacement.

Once at the other side, climb the ladder and burn the bush.  Throw the Spears
over to the right and arm your fellow Human.  Return to the platform that took
you towards the mysterious Human and ready your Spear.  As soon as is possible,
stab that sucker in the face.  Approach the Shaman to finish the level.

up here and stack one on his shoulders to allow the other to pass.  Head right
and ride the moving platform up to the Spear.  Wait for the platform to come
back and ride it down to the bottom, then transfer over to the other platform.
As the second platform approaches the left, prepare the Spear for the hostile
Human guarding the Torch.

Take the Torch back to the left and ride the platform up to where you found the
Spear.  Burn the bush and grab the Spear behind it, then head back the way you
came.  You obviously can't get past the ledge you dropped down from, so send
another to Humans up there to stack on your side.  With the Spear, head back to
the moving platform above the start point and ride it up to the hostile Human
at the top.  Stick your Spear in his ear and go step on the button.

Send one of your remaining Humans over to the right and have them grab the
Torch.  Ride the platform all the way to the top, then burn the bush down to
free the trapped Human.  If, at some point in the level, you should find
yourself in need of another Spear, there's one behind the bush on the ledge
under the button.

     Climb the ladder to the left and grab one of the Spears - make sure to
bring the other one with you, however.  Vault the gaps, obviously.  A little
way after the second jump, you'll have to take out a rogue Human.  If you stay
near the edge, you'll be safe to take your time.

Grab the Spear and climb the ladder.  Stack the other Humans next to the cliff
and climb up.  Climb the ladder and take the Rope - be sure to return for your
comrades.  Climb back up the ladder and make all your Humans ride the platform
across the gap.  At the other side, you'll be greeted with two more Spears -
don't leave them behind, of course.

Climb down the ladder and lower the Rope over the cliff to the left.  Once you
have everyone down, the Human up on the ledge is useless, so drop the Rope down
to someone else.  Have your Humans climb the ladder and vault the gap.  At the
top of the next ladder, have two Humans stack against the ledge to the right.
Once you're up, use the Rope to retrieve your friends.

You don't technically need them, but let's face it, you're probably going to
die, so the more the merrier.  Up the ladder and over the next gap is a moving
platform.  At the end of the ride is a hostile Human guards the exit.  Like I
said, it's a tricky shot, and you're likely to die, so once that rogue element
is removed, have a remaining Human walk to the exit.  If you didn't die - good
for you.  I, however, just lost a bet.

At the top of the second ladder, grab the Spear and continue on your merry way.
From the top of the next ladder, throw the Spear over to the right, then return
to the button to open the gate.

Your fellow Humans can now use the Spear to clear the gap.  With all three
across, head back down and have them vault the gap to the left of the start
point.  Once across, climb the ladder and chuck your Spear at the mammoth - it
won't kill it, so you'll need to wait until it moves away from the ladder.
At the top of said ladder is a Rope.  Take it and return to your friends.
Head left and lower the Rope down the cliff to allow someone to retrieve the
two Spears.

Take one of those Spears and finish off the mammoth, then return for the other.
Climb the ladder to the left of where the mammoth was and vault the gap, again,
throwing the Spear back over for your comrades (don't forget the Rope).  At the
top of the next ladder, have two of them stack against the ledge to the right.

Once you've gotten the guy with the Rope up, lower it down for the others, then
once they're up, lower it down the other side to get them safely into the pit.
Stack one of them next to the ledge and have the other one continue right and
climb the ladder.  Vaulting over to the igloo on the right sees the level end.

     Climb down the ladder and grab a Spear, then continue down the next ladder
and vault the gap.  Now, here's the tricky bit - from the bottom of the next
ladder, you have to vault over to the moving platform to the right.  Ride the
platform to the top and throw the Spear at the hostile running around, also to
the right.  Take the nearby Spear and ride the platform back down and transfer
to the other one.  This platform doesn't quite go all the way to the left, so
vault over to solid ground.

The Wheel here can be placed over the switch to activate it.  Get back on the
platform and transfer back to the vertically-moving one (via vaulting).  At the
top, head right and take a ride on another moving platform (jump over to it).
Ride it down until you see the second ladder on the right, then perform a full
power jump over to it.  Believe me, this is much easier than transferring to
the platform at the bottom.  Climb that very ladder and throw a Spear at the
hostile Human - as long as you throw it at full power, you can stand safely on
the edge.

Climb back down the ladder, then down the one to the right to retrieve the
Torch.  Head back up to burn the bush behind where the hostile was.  Climb the
ladder to be reunited with your friend.  Behind the bush at the top of the next
ladder is a Spear.  Here's the clever bit - stand next to the ladder and throw
the Spear at the hostile as hard as you can, it'll gain just enough height to
take him out.  Stack against the ledge to allow your remaining Human to reach
the river.

     Ride the platform over to the right, then climb down the ladder and drop
into the pit to the left.  You need two Humans to stack against the far wall to
get out, so bring them over and do just that.  With the Rope that's just a
fraction away from you, pull your comrades up and out of the pit.

Drop down the other side and grab the Spear.  The gap is too large for you to
vault, so wait for the platform in the middle to appear, then jump over to it.
You can either purchase an extra Spear here, or you can jump over to the one
across the other side of the gap and throw it back over.

At the bottom, jump off and continue right (mind the drop).  Vault the gap,
then climb the ladder and hitch a ride on the moving platform.  At the top,
vault over to the left, then vault over to and ride the platform (you need to
jump to reach solid ground on the other side).  Stand on the button.

Take the other Human with the Spear and head down and climb the ladder from
before.  Ride the platform up and vault over to the right.  Spear the hostile
here and take the Torch.  Drop it over the edge and ride the platform back
down, Spear in hand.  Throw the Torch over the gap to the right and vault after
it.  Burn the bush, then ride the Wheel over the button and return to the
moving platform.  Vault over to the left and have the Human with the Rope throw
it to your current guy so he can pull him out of the pit.

Vault over to the moving platform and step back onto solid ground.  Make sure
the Human on the other side is out of the way, then throw the Spear over to
him.  Climb the ladder to the right and stack against the wall.  The Human on
the first button can ride back now and take his place on his shoulders.
The Human who now holds the Spear can follow suit and vault over to the moving
platform.  Climb the ladder, then the stack of pinkness to reach your brother.

     Ride the platform down and transfer across to the second one.  Take the
Rope and have your next two Humans join with your current one, but make sure
they stop for a Spear each along the way.  Climb down the ladder and head
right, then drop over the ledge and lower the Rope over the side.

Send someone with a Spear down and approach the gap.  You should see a hostile
Human run into view.  From here, you can take your time to make sure he never
runs anywhere ever again.  You only have one Spear now, so use it to get your
three remaining Humans across the gap.  Have the one with the Rope drop it
down to someone else so they can make use of it.

Have them climb the ladder and stack two against the ledge.  Have the one with
the Rope climb up and lower it down for the others (only one is needed for the
next bit, but having both is nice).  Lower the Rope down the other side and
have someone grab the Spear.  Make sure to leave the Spear you already have
with the guy with the Rope.

To get on the platform to the right, you'll need to vault to it.  To get off,
you'll also have to vault (such is life).  Climb down the ladder and follow the
path around.  At the end, vault the gap and climb the ladder.  From the top of
the ladder, you can reach the platform.  Climb the second ladder and stand on
the switch.  Send the Human who had the Rope, Spear in hand, back down the
ladder and across the gap.  Kill the hostile behind the door and make your way
back across the gap (with your new Spear) and up the ladder with the Torch.

From where you lowered the Rope down, throw the Torch across to the foot of the
ladder opposite.  The Human standing on the switch doesn't need to stand on it
any longer, so send him down to collect the Torch.  Climb the first ladder this
time and burn the bush.  Jump the gap with the Wheel to reach the food.

nice.  Get off when it reaches the bottom and grab the Rope.  Be sure to bring
the second Human here as well.  Have the third Human stack against the ledge to
allow everyone to get out of the pit, then pull him up with the Rope.

Climb the ladder and get off to the left.  Lower the Rope down and have someone
collect the Spear.  With the Spear in hand, climb to the top of the ladder and
make your way right.  Lower the Rope down the cliff and use the Spear at the
bottom to get both Humans across the gap (make sure one of them, brings the
Rope).  At the top of the ladder, ride the moving platform all the way over to
the left.

Once you reach solid ground, continue left and drop down.  Vault to the moving
platform and ride it over to the ladder.  At the top, throw your Spear over to
kill the hostile, then purchase another Spear and vault the gap.  Grab the
Torch and throw it over to the right, along with one of the Spears.  Return to
the ledge and have your second Human pull you up.

Grab the Torch and ride the platform over to the ladder.  At the top, burn the
bush and kill the rhino (it takes one Spear).  Continue right and vault the
gap.  Throw the Spear back for your friend.  The hostile Human over there won't
attack you from this distance, so just stay near the ledge and throw the Spear.

Climb down the ladder, stopping off halfway for a Spear.  At the bottom, throw
the Spear at the marauding hostile, then purchase a new one from the Shaman.
Once across the gap, climb down the ladder and head right to finish the level
and the game.  The ending has hip-thrusting.  Hip-thrusting frightens me.
You wanted this, so welcome to the party, pal.

 Q: What's the difference between the Prehistoric Age and the Ice Age?

 A: Ice, mainly.  Moving platforms increase, as do hostiles, and the general
    difficulty.  Other than that, the soundtrack becomes really rather good.

 A: As of this moment, no you cannot host my guide.  Why?  Because I believe
    that the number of sites that I�m allowing to host this guide is enough,
    enough to keep track of and enough to provide adequate distribution to you,
    the wonderful FAQ-reading public.


 Q: I have this guide, would it be okay if I used a part of yours?

 A: *Chokes* part of mine?  What would be the point of that?  You can use my
    guide as reference for all the things that I can�t own (i.e. facts), but
    you can�t go lifting entire paragraphs, even if you credit me for it.
    Just read the copyright notice at the top of this guide, and then think
    twice before 'borrowing' anything from me.


 Q: If I've found something that you were too stupid to include, or something
    that you've missed, what should I do?

 A: You could take it, turn it sideways and shove it... *ahem* just drop me
    a line and tell me in exact detail as to what it was that I screwed up on
    or missed out.  If you can help me to make this guide more accurate, you�ll
    win a cookie, a kudos cookie (great on calories, lousy on taste).


 ===== Credits and Outro =========================================== 05.00 ====

     Welcome to Evolution, sir.  One head or two?  I recommend the Chateauneuf
du pape with that, sir.  Ah, we've reached the end of the evolutionary trail.
The guide is done, and so are we.  What more can I say?  Good night and be most
excellent to one another.  Also, get out and turn the lights off.

No, Mr. President, they have no idea of my true identity.  Yes, Mr. President,
it all went according to plan.  Shall I continue with the second phase of the
operation?  Yes sir, understood.
