Cavesaiyan

The Cavesaiyans were the Saiyan race's primitive ancestors who lived millions of years ago on Planet Saiya. They began appearing around 200,000 Before Age, after a long descent from Great Apes (but could still go into the form). Like modern Saiyans, they were brutish and loved fighting, embracing warrior culture but with little civilization.

History
Cavesaiyans were genetically and physically identical to modern Saiyans, the term is just used to explain the lack of culture or civilization on the planet. They began around 200,000 BA and ended around 10,000 BA when culture began forming, along with cities, agriculture, and governments. The first Saiyan monarchy in 2,000 BA began modern Saiyan history, and nearly the whole race went extinct after Frieza's genocide in Age 737.

Notable Cavesaiyans are Ergog and Kuzog (who invented pancakes).
