During the game there is a scene where someone discovers a fossil of the
Utawarerumono (apparently an archeologist) and it's hinted that the
Utawarerumono is the missing link between man and ape or the origin of man.
The fossil has what looks to be Hakuro's mask on it as well. The archeologist
is then shot by the person he was talking to, apparently a guard.

Now we know that the "Iceman" is the Utawarerumono (Hakuro) and he was being
experimented on so that humanity could become stronger to inhabit the world.
However I don't understand where the scene with the fossil fits in.

So I am wondering, what the connection between the fossil and the rest of the
story is.

question
utawarerumono
How does the fossil connect with the rest of the story?


I don't know how game presents it, but I think it is pretty obvious from
anime.

The scene with the fossil is in our present.

Fast forward few (hundreds) years

> and Proto-Hakuoro is found as Iceman.

Neither game nor anime explains where the Utawarerumono actually came from and
how it became a fossil.
