'''Kalis''' (Azkali: '''''~~Anatakonkezkalina Kalirek~~''''') or '''Modern Kalis''' are the most common and widespread members of Atakonkezkalis. Kalis are mammals, being an evolved hybrid species between Qoxonits and Kaneeds, despite morphologically resembling reptiles. Like other sapient species, Kalis are characterized by their large brains, allowing for sophisticated cognitive skills that facilitate adaptation to varied environments, development of tools, and the formation of complex social structures and civilizations.

'''Kalis''' (Azkali: '''''Atakoruzkali'''('''rek''')'') or '''Modern Kalis''' are the most common and widespread members of Atakonkezkalis.

Like other sapient species, Kalis are characterized by their large brains, allowing for sophisticated cognitive skills that facilitate adaptation to varied environments, development of tools, and the formation of complex social structures and civilizations.

Kalis evolved from the Atakokali, a hybrid species which first appeared c. 1.3 million years ago as the result of contact and mating between Qoxonits and Kaneeds in northern Ukilen. This hybridization is remarkable due to the fact that the last recent common ancestor lived between [abc]—[xyz] million years ago. As Atakokalis evolved into modern Kalis, further hybridization events occured between modern Kalis and Qoxonits and the various subspecies of Kaneeds, yielding '''Hathakalis''' (Qoxonit–Kali hybrids), '''Pameakalis''' (Baphian Kaneed–Kali hybrids), '''Zurukalis''' (Jyosti Kaneed–Kali hybrids), '''Otzokalis''' (Xeric Kaneed–Kali hybrids), '''Huzkalis''' (Yamahati Kaneed–Kali hybrids), '''Razkakalis''' (Hallei Kaneed–Kali hybrids), and '''Saikokalis''' (Zhaja Kaneed–Kali hybrids). Kalis lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers up until approximately 15,000 years ago, approximately when the first permanent settlements by kalis began. This led to the rise of Kali civilization, the earliest being the Azkali civilization which is believed to be the earliest continuous civilization in the world, and the rapid growth of Kali technology and population — today, there are believed to be approximately one hundred million living kalis, a majority of which reside in Ukilen.

Kali behavior is largely identical to other sapient species, in that they are omnivorous and capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material. Whilst early Atakokalis were largely vespertinal and nocturnal, Kalis today are diurnal, and sleep an average of five to seven hours per day. Kalis are apex predators, with their only major predator being cheetahs.

Like other sapient species, Kalis are sexually dimorphic, but far less so than Qoxonits and Kaneeds. Males and females generally have the same levels of body strength and body fat, though males are on average somewhat taller than females. Puberty and the development of secondary sexual characteristics occurs in kalis around the age of 13. Females are capable of pregnancy starting at puberty, with menopause occuring around the age of 60. Childbirth is dangerous and occasionally deadly, with a high risk of complications. Kali infants are altricial, and require care in order to survive, which is provided by both the mother and father.

== Etymology ==

Broadly speaking, the term Kali is usually used for all members of the Atakonkezkali family, which consists of modern Kalis, Hathakalis, Pameakalis, Zurukalis, Otzokalis, Huzkalis, Razkakalis, and Saikokalis, and most languages share one word which refers to members of all of these species. The term ''kali'' is the most widely used term when referring to Atakonkezkalis, and is derived from the Azkali word ''kali'', meaning "person"; in Azkali, the word is generally used to refer to any member of any sapient species. The term a''takoruzkali'' refers to modern Kalis, and was first coined by Ueksperkali polymath Heterrigi in his 1607 work ''Hembi'' ''Kalis''. The term a''takoruzkali'' in Azkali means "(the) first person". The term ''modern Kali'' is also used synonymously with a''takoruzkali'''.''''' This article uses the term Kali only to refer to modern Kalis/Atakoruzkalis.

== Evolution ==

Kalis evolved from the Atakokali, a hybrid species which first appeared c. 1.3 million years ago as a result of contact and mating between Qoxonits and Kaneeds in northern Ukilen. Atakokalis appeared to be widespread across Ukilen and [northern continent], but largely dissapared from Ukilen starting c. 1,000,000 years ago. Atakokalis evolved into Kalis in [northern continent], spreading to Aeruvia c. 400,000 years ago. Kalis only spread back to Ukilen approximately c. 15,000 years ago, around the approximate date of the Neolithic Revolution, where the later members of the Atakonkezkalis originated. The first Atakonkezkali aside from Kalis were Huzkalis, with the first Huzkali fossil dating to c. 14,000 years ago. Pameakalis, Razkakalis, and Saikokalis first appeared approximately c. 10,000 years ago. Finally, Hathakalis first appeared c. 5,000 years ago, an event which is chronicled in the ''Heuduro Kalirezkoro —'' this is the only event of sapient species hybridization that was documented.

=== Ancient ===

Up until 15,000 years ago, all Kalis lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers. The Neolithic Revolution first took place in northern Yamahat, approximately around modern-day Bongsibon, and spread across Ukilen over the following millenia. It also occured independently in [xyz]. Access to food surplus led to the first permanent kali settlements, the domestication of animals, and the first use of metal tools. Azkali civilization first appeared c. 12,000 years ago, based around city-states. Chekearoa, the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in the world, was founded c. 10,000–8,000 years ago. Other Azkali city states such as Otzeipao, Atzogui, and Nairak, were founded c. 8,000 years ago.
