Against:

1. Select and move: left-click a creature; the Creature Command window shows what it needs. To move: M (or the Move button) and click the destination. The right button on the map centers the view; on your creature, it opens the orders menu.
2. Gather evolution points: each creature earns points from its population. In the Evolution Information window (F3), split them between feeding, new species and combat.
3. Pick a target in the evolution window. When progress completes, you choose one creature to become the new species. Each species exists in only one clan: if a rival gets there first, change target.
4. Outscore the rivals: population, new species and landmarks (first amniote, first mammal…). The game ends when any clan evolves a sapiens form, worth +50%.
