The story of The Humans is one of evolution and discovery. In this ancient world, prehistoric man is on a quest to advance his species by acquiring tools, technology, and other advancements. As you guide him through various levels, he must navigate puzzles and challenges to uncover the secrets of human civilization.
Gameplay in The Humans involves action puzzle-solving, similar to classic games like Lode Runner and Lemmings. Your goal is to help prehistoric man evolve by completing tasks such as finding objects, reaching destinations, or utilizing tools you've discovered.

Each level features a time limit, after which the level resets if the task isn't completed. With multiple characters at your disposal and a variety of challenges to overcome, The Humans requires strategy and quick thinking to succeed.
The Humans was released on the Amiga in 1992, offering a unique blend of puzzle-solving and action that appeals to fans of classic retro games.
