A student group project outlining the creation of a hypothetical civilization in a humid rainforest region, focussing on the evolution of the human settlement from nomadic tribe to advanced futuristic city.
All changes within the hypothetical settlement as it evolves have been based upon historic evidence of human settlements within similar geographical areas.
