For fans of the Borderlands series, Isekai, Taxonomy, and Anthropology, War Apes is a lootified LitRPG. The three most successful archaic humans: the Denisovans, Neanderthals, and Homo Floresiensis ("Flos" for short), will compete with Homo Sapiens to see who will win the "Contest": a planet-wide competition which invigorates the native flora and fauna with "loot" which Contestants must plunder in order to get more powerful. As they compete and fight to survive, Contestants also gain access to various "World Proficiencies" which can grant Contestants various abilities and bonuses.
