What if the Ancients weren't the first evolution?

[Origin1981]

What if the Ancients themselves were not the first evolution of humans either? What I am postulating is this. The human race evolves to ancient levels in one galaxy then creates lesser versions of themselves then moves on to somewhere else and ascends. Then those lesser humans evolve to ancient levels and creates lesser versions of themselves somewhere else. Maybe its like encoded in our DNA and we don't even know it. To procreate our species from one galaxy to the next.

I'm sure we won't find out.But your theory is interesting

[GreyFox]

it'd take 50million+ years just to reach the alteran level.

[2ndgenerationalteran]

and there are 5 billion years that passed. but i remember right only a few billion years are actually habbitable. the way i see it is that in reality we are one of the early races, and in the future our decendants would be like the ancients and be highly revered by less advanced societies.

this theory is interesting. and if we're all walking the steps of ancients that could be a reason why every culture is similar and they all speak english. maybe its like the laws of physics. what if there was a pre-ancient civilization? even more powerfull. and they were the ones that seeded ancients. but the ancients failed to become pre-ancients. or something---

but my real guess would be that we're the first civilization in this galaxy.

not if they can wipe the replicators out and "borrow" their city forever

Interesting theory. Anything is possible on this show.

Interesting theory. Anything is possible on this show.

And that is one of the many reasons I love this show.

Not true. I can guarantee that The Ori are definitely not made of Pizza.

It's actually a pretty interesting possibility, and one that crossed my mind sometime back. Although based on what's been established thus far, it's somewhat unlikely.

If there'd been a race of humans who predated even the Ancients and seeded the latter, they should've left some evidence of their existence behind (relics, ruins, perhaps even fossils). The Ancients were explorers just like the current incarnation of humans, only with a head start of at least tens of millions of years and they should've at least been aware of or discovered some traces of these pre-Ancients. However, that does not aware to be the case thus far and Janus even stated that the Tau'ri were the second evolution of humanity, meaning the Ancients are not aware of any who came before them (the Ancients).

It might be possible that every single last trace of the pre-Ancients ever having existed was somehow eliminated, although this is extremely slim and almost impossible if they were an advanced an multi-galactic spanning race short of cosmic intervention or something of similar scale. Still, I guess anything is possible in the series if the writers so choose.

[wise one]

well the ancients reli had a big brain which can store alot if knowledge if they were not the first then the pre-guys would of been even more smarter then the ancients

[Rekreativc]

that's a really interesting idea. I find it completely possible, but since the show is being canceled it is extremely unlikely that we will ever find out anything in this area except if it has been taped already.

I would really like like to see a new spinoff with a similar idea. Also the new spinoff could be about some earthling evolving to a higher place of existence. We've been hearing so much about it every virtually no nothing about it so it would be a right way to go for sci-fi.

How do you know that. I get a lot of scripts coming and going around this office. and i can tell you that in the episode 1018 - Family Ties, Sam and Vala battle the Milky Ways newest super villian "Pizza the Hut" played by the ever hilarious Sally Struthers.

[GateMan2000]

Maybe we will see the Ancients of the Ancients lol!

[Raj_2006]

Maybe we will see the Ancients of the Ancients lol!

love tht, maybe will see the Ancients Ancients.
