Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey Beginner Tips
How do I get Neuronal energy?
Neuronal energy is the resource with which you unlock skills in Ancestors. The neurons stimulated by various discoveries and deeds consolidate the knowledge gained in this way in your head and offer you access to new things. There are different possibilities for this:
Carry a baby around with you whenever you can. The proximity between you and the toddler will ensure that you receive neural energy with which you can learn new skills. These include the different senses, the possibilities of movement, communication, and general intelligence.
Use your hearing to find a child in the dense jungle. Yellow circles symbolize the appropriate background noise that you have to follow.
Another possibility is gaining knowledge and recognizing something new. If you look at the map, you will discover skull symbols. Go to the marked locations and analyze the bones of your ancestors in order to obtain additional neural energy.
How do I make items?
In order to advance in evolution and improve your own life, you must start making items. Start by joining two common stones. You will hear a sound that tells you how long to hold down the button. It depends on the right timing so that a new one can emerge from two objects. Don't fret if it doesn't work the first time. Practice creates masters!Which place should I look for myself to live in?
Once you've built your small settlement and gathered some resources, it's often difficult to leave this place. But it's worth it! For new sources of food and further opportunities to develop, it is necessary to penetrate further into the game world.
It is advisable to settle near a body of water. You need fresh water every day to survive. You also have the opportunity to calm bleeding wounds there. This is also useful for trying out unknown foods. If you have an intolerance, you have the healing waters close by.
How do I increase the inventory and effectively produce offspring?
The most effective way to have offspring is by mating an old male with an adult female. Ensures that the females give birth twice and repeat this process with the remaining females, also in subsequent generations. Always use a different male old man in order to avoid problems with the relationships later and to avoid inbreeding.
Mutations have effects on evolution and generation change but do not bring any advantages in mating. In the early stages of the game, the passing on of mutations should take a back seat. Efficient mating is important to tribal conservation. You can have six members of each age category in the clan. There are the age categories babies, adults, and old people.
The maximum tribe size is therefore 18 members. At irregular intervals, if you are far enough away from your settlement, you will come across non-tribal monkeys, which you can only take into your tribe if it has fewer than six adults. If your clan no longer responds to calls, you know that you are sufficiently far away to be able to meet non-tribal monkeys. The sense of hearing helps to find the loners faster.
If you have found a loner, you have to meet his need and then bring him to your settlement so that he can join you. In the following table we show you how you interpret the behaviour of the loner and meet the need:
When and how should I carry out an evolution or a generation change?
Via the menu of the neuronal network, you get to the two items evolution and generation menu. In the generation menu, you can jump 15 years into the future under certain conditions. This is the so-called generation change. To do this, you have to have at least one child in your tribe, play an adult, and be in your active settlement. Also, eight fortifications must be fulfilled.

For every child you conceive, you receive one consolidation. Special events like the discovery of a meteorite give your tribe two fortifications. The generation change ensures solidified mutations in the children, who then have improved metabolic properties. He turns babies into adults, adults into old ones, and lets old people die.
For evolution, you have to meet different conditions, which you can see in the evolution menu. An evolution moves your settlement to another, potentially dangerous location. You should therefore have taken a few important steps before evolution is in order to be better prepared for possible dangers:
Learn how to build a sleeping place, the twig wall, and the thorn wall.
Processes granite, basalt, and obsidian.
Kill a python, any other snake, and a wild boar.
Inspect anything that has a question mark symbol on it and try any food you can find. Even if you cannot tolerate the food yet, the proximity to the water offers the perfect basis for trying things out. The more food you can eat before evolution, the easier it will be afterwards.
Other useful tips about Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey
At the beginning of the game, you are a penniless child. To age quickly, you have to find a safe place nearby and declare it your HUB. There you will become an adult a few moments later.
Do you want to know your evolution status or keep an eye on upgrades and the current generation, then look for a cosy pile of leaves. By lying down, you can access this information.
There is no shame in starting over. We all learn from our mistakes and do better next time. In Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, sometimes it's best to start from scratch and apply the new knowledge straight away.
Collecting and inspecting one gem of each type and twelve meteorites is enough. Further collecting has no positive effects. The items only represent inferior weapons.
Old people feel no fear and are not afraid of unknown areas. This can be useful when exploring. Note, however, that to complete an advance you have to expand the clan area 20 times by overcoming the fear. If you expand the clan area exclusively with old men, the progress cannot be completed.
Stick to the white circles when exploring unknown areas. They show you that you are really new to the region. They are easy to confuse with the light blue circles that mark the boundary of a known area.
Stay curious! During your travels, you will come across many different resources. Put the different materials together and create completely new items that you might not have expected. This not only reduces the mass of items you carry around with you - but it could also help with evolution.
