Thanks. Given Sonic's Earth and our Earth has the same age, I know I missed some huge gaps out in prehistoric eras.

For example when the meteor fell that wiped out the dinosaurs I know life just didn't "spring" back up. I know some creatures survived but the surface of the earth was mostly radioactive storms.

I like the idea of Light Gaia's minions evolving into mobians at the same time and pace as hominids evolving into humans.

The K/T Event (The meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs) I imagine would be a practical to cause a premature time of awakening.

The only story I can't explain is how come Dark Gaia was able to restore his form first while Light Gaia failed to do so, and in still weakened state able to defeat Dark Gaia and restore the Earth. If anything the world blanketed in fallout thick enough to block out the sn would give Dark Gaia and his minions more of an edge.

But a premature awakening before or during hominids would be an ideal time for Light Gaia's minions to become an independant race and develop the means to evolve into mobians.
