...but while these tribes were the hunters, the biogentically engineered advanced Inhumans were the gatherers, scooping up examples of weird and interesting wild, wild life to study with their Magnetic Space Arc [sic].

What kind of fauna did the early Inhumans cart away, you may ask? Well, that's simple: here we can see they're collecting a tapir.
Their scientific experiments upon the humble tapir accelerated its own evolution billions of years beyond the knowledge of men, which is why this summer you've got a Marvel space adventure movie coming out this summer that stars Rocket Tapir. Unless I've gotten that wrong.

For generations the Inhumans wondered why their data on these specimens kept disappearing, until one finally said "Maybe we shouldn't house our computers in ships that are propelled by giant magnets."
