-At the time bipedalism appeared, the takmids had already begun to diverge into separate populations, separated by mountains. The tendency developed more fully in those residing in the [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:region:Sea of Grass]], but for those in what is now the [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:region:Brightness]], an alternation between bipedal and quadripedal stances became the norm. By this time, the two groups have fully separated, and are known as the [[species:clade:dvidalin|dvidalins]] and [[species:clade:takmin|takmins]] respectively.+At the time bipedalism appeared, the takmids had already begun to diverge into separate populations, separated by mountains.

-With their habitat continuing to shrink, the proto-takmar begin to strike out from the river valleys and oases they have been inhabiting. While some of them are able to join the proto-xtauh, with whom interbreeding is still possible, others migrate through the somewhat more hospitable foothills of the [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:region:Spine of Sirdanth]]. While there are already other proto-takmar living here, it provides a useful corridor to other lands, and bands of proto-takmar use it to go around or through the mountains toward the foothills on the southern side. Over several subsequent waves of migration, the [[avishraa:place:Cerulean Tangle]] is also colonized.+With their habitat continuing to shrink, the proto-takmar begin to strike out from the river valleys and oases they have been inhabiting.
