Of course, the editor at the awakening stage will be more limited than the editor at the awareness stage, but this will not only create the effect of a smoother transition, but the players will also like it, and everything will be OK with the realism

what about awakening will make it as interesting as the one before it? I imagine that the stage would have a greater focus on developing your species culture, via more complex communication, greater tool use, taming, and taking better advantage of the local environment, outside of evolutionary changes. The tool editor, (and perhaps language tab?) serving as almost a replacement for the species editor.
Also I can not tell if this post is sarcasm or not.

Pretty sure that Awakening will introduce the “nation editor” or whatever it was called like.
As far as I’m concerned the awakening stage is supposed to be a transistion between the “evolution stages” and the proper “strategy stages” (note here that awakening in itself is classified as a strategy stage).
Newer users generally post such kind of questions (Source: I did that back when I joined).

I assume the awakening stage is supposed to model hominins, from evolution to H. sapiens sessile civilisations. In that case, it’s reasonable to have some level of evolution - but not too much. Hominins had a good deal of evolution, but not too much, and besides, from the perspective of current-era humanity, ancient hominins had very little influence on us. There’s some genetic traces, I guess.
That is, of course, assuming that the awakening stage is, in fact, meant to model tribes and the competition of hominins. If it’s not, I’d need to revise.

Tribes is kind of only a society stage thing, not awakening stage yet. Here’s the wiki page that defines the transitions for the awakening stage:
As we plan for Thrive to be a more than just a collection of minigames, the transitions try to be very gradual, so some kind of tribal living is already possible in awakening stage that doesn’t yet fulfil the requirements of the society stage.

So I guess instead of tribes we’d rather have loose “clans” of specimens in awakening stage.
