THE HUMANFARM EXPERIMENT
A beginning, with an open future.
The premise
In the standard mission, 394 people leave Earth at 18. Seven years later they land, aged 25, on an Earth-like planet. They begin without assigned couples or families. New relationships and communities emerge through simulated life.
The mission uses 197 countries of origin as a model convention. Origin does not determine anyone's abilities or personality.
The record
HumanFarm follows individual lives within a shared world. Every edition preserves its world, people and stories at a recorded moment in time.
Open the numbered sources beside a story to inspect its evidence. Missing conversations, private motives and unrecorded history are left unknown.
The open question
Can a society grow from this beginning? Work, care, supplies, relationships and crises all shape the experiment.
This is a fictional simulation, not a scientifically validated forecast of humanity. Its stories describe what happened in the model.

THE RESEARCH LIBRARY
Literature behind the experiment.
Psychology, sociology and history.
Explore the works collected in HumanFarm’s Info & Research library. They inform the questions we ask about individuals and societies; they do not validate the simulation or supply universal rules for human behaviour.
