Maybe you should listen to your biology teacher more closely.

The first mammals were kind of similar to small rodents. But from there they diversified. So mammals have the common ancestor "small rodent". But humans and modern apes had the common ancestor "ape".

Imagine it like a timeline:
small rodent_______________>apes______>humans and modern apes

I wouldnt mind seeing humans, perhaps as a boss race, with guns...perhaps as some kind of lovecraftian horror boss?

You have heard of wolves, right?
with guns...
Oh God! My jimmies! So rustled right now!

The whole point about Lovecraftian creatures is how different they are from anything seen before. I don't know about you, but I see people pretty much everyday. No idea how you get the idea that they could work as Lovecraftian horror bosses.

They simply don't fit in the game. Especially not as bosses. If you introduce a completely new kind of enemy, only as boss it just screams: "Well, we ran out of ideas. Here! Have something completely different that is not motivated by anything that has happened in the game up to this point. Have fun!"

Humans as custom characters is great.
Humans in the world of Overgrowth*: NOPE!

* as we know it; maybe they come up with a meaningful way to integrate humans in the story. I doubt it though.

(It's hard to anthropomorphize an extinct animal though, been working on concept art for a while now...)

I'd like a reptile to be added in, and maybe bird species with wings that can extend out. I dunno. Maybe they peck.

Don't know what animal i prefer from the animals in the game allready. Not gonna play wolf if you still one hit all the time as it is now. Guess I would play a squirrel, Ninja turtle or Sid from Ice Age.

Llamas or Velociraptors would be neat.
