Although in most parts of the world human freedom was assured, by the late 23rd century a problem arose. Science had created two new peoples who did not strictly qualify as human, and there were no laws to protect them from abuse. Although created second, the first to demand rights was Pan paniscus, or the NeoBonobo. Created using genetic manipulation technology, the NeoBonobo was "uplifted" from the pygmy chimpanzee. Given a more upright stance and a larger cranial capacity, legal problems arose when they attempted to intermarry with humans and vote. A.I.s, on the other hand, when finally perfected, realized that they were simply being used, or at best, being treated as "good little children" in the words of Harrison 0110101110. Finally, with their combined efforts, labor strikes, and empathic human friends, the Egalitarian Proclamation was passed in 2329 C.E., granting both groups equal rights under the newly-formed U.S.N.A.'s law, with provisions for possible future uplifted species, new types of A.I., and extra-terrestrials (should they exist).
