Archaic Humans
Archaic Humans is a five-part sci-fi podcast exploring the lost revolutions of human consciousness through the voices of ancient, imagined societies. In a future classroom outside time, survivors of a collapsed world return to the past to understand how we nearly destroyed everything.
Archaic Humans
Plateau Nation
The Plateau Nation, represented here by Del, built their entire civilization within a shared dream consciousness — a vast symbolic landscape tethered to human minds through ritual, memory, and genetic inheritance. In waking life they were minimalists; in dreams, architects of entire cities of thought where conflict, planning, and even grief unfolded in collective vision.
