The Point of Diversion occurs about 2.2 million years ago, just as the new species Homo Habilus was beginning to separate itself from the chimpanzee and austrolopithecus. In eastern Africa, where the only hominid species lived, a severe mutation struck one prehistoric man, who then spread it to all of his offspring unwittingly, causing a rapid burst of evolution. The new offspring became infertile with the original hominids, creating a divergent species. As they migrated northward, searching for territory, the mutations continued, dividing the species once again in a similar fashion. Soon all hominids had split into five incompatible species, which all fled to different corners of the globe and developed distinct characteristics of their own.
