Well then, my lack of familiarity with EVE lore explains all that then. However, I am still going to point at this - " 'Blood-red skies, strange beings, and the number 514, often written in blood,' said Shakor." I want to know what the "strange beings" are, they could be sentient aliens, could they not? :) Unless there is other lore that can confirm otherwise, which would be disappointing.
Who really knows? (well, the devs know, at least.) To the citizens of New Eden ancient history is myth and legend anyway.
Humanity has diverged somewhat in the thousands of years since the collapse of the wormhole that brought them here, the Jove, for example, have genengineered themselves so much that they look more like aliens (what ones are left, only pictures and art to go by, really) I do think the Sleepers are the last remnants of the original colonists of New Eden, myself.
Hmmm, you know, one of my first trips as a new player in EVE was to take a sightseeing trip to the EVE Gate (not much to look at beyond a sun-like collapsed wormhole and a really dangerous trip in)
One thought made me wonder then, and keeps me wondering now when I play.
What happened to the Earth and human race that our ancestors (as players in New Eden) left behind when they came through the EVE Gate and after the collapse and fall of that civilization, and will we ever see their descendants? |

Given the joyous direction of EVE I imagine the Earth degenerated into rampant cannibalism. 
Maybe they did, for a while.
And maybe they became the kind of empire who are such heartless bastiches that it makes the one in star wars look like girl scouts in comparison - and did not forget us.
tinfoil hats, anyone? |
