Prehistoric humans are now extinct (or mostly extinct) humans from the far past, they possess greater strength and fortitude than their modern counterpart but are less intelligent and versatile. This race is meant to encompass primitive and proto-human species such as the homo erectus, neanderthal to the cro-magnon man.
