* Protoculture Addicts issue 45, pages 17 – 27, May – June 1997.

Fearful of their old combat directives of not interfering with Protoculture, the Zentradi perform attacks to test their theories about the people on board the Macross, and even have their Zentradi soldiers " micloned " ( miniaturized ) to learn more about their culture.

In the Robotech canon, based on Macross, Earth is the homeworld of humanity and notable as one of the few places that " The flower of life " ( the source of the powerful energy source Protoculture ) can grow.

In the original Macross Japanese anime series ( Big West / Studio Nue, 1982 ) the Zentradi were created as a spacefaring race of giant humanoid proxy warriors by the first civilization in the galaxy, the Protoculture, 497, 500 years ago.

The term " Protoculture " first came up during preproduction story development for The Super Dimension Fortress Macross Japanese TV series ( Big West / Studio Nue, 1982 ), when the creators were researching cultural studies to develop concepts to be used in the plot.

In the Macross animated series Protoculture serves both to refer to the first extraterrestrial humanoid civilization itself (" Proto Culture " or Puroto Kerlchuun, which means " Old Culture " or " Ancient Culture " in the fictional Zentradi language ) and earthling culture itself.

In the fictional history of Macross the Protoculture was the first sentient humanoid race to evolve in this universe, about one million years ago.

According to the official chronology of The Super Dimension Fortress Macross series, the Protoculture became also the first advanced humanoid civilization in the known universe 500, 000 years ago.

The Protodeviln, as they were called, fed on the spiritual energy ( spiritia ) of the Protoculture and Zentradi, and turned some of them into brainwashed troops of their own, the Supervision Army, but were defeated and imprisoned by a group of Protoculture called the Anima Spiritia ( see Macross 7 ).

During the events of the Macross Zero OVA ( set in A. D. 2008, a year before the Zentradi invasion ) it was revealed that the much more technologically-advanced remnants of the Protoculture rediscovered Earth about 10, 000 years ago and came into contact with the nascent humanity in a place known as " Mayan Island " in the South Pacific.

During the recent Macross Frontier animated series, it was revealed in-universe that at some point during the course of thousands of years ago the Protoculture came into contact with an even older insectoid galactic species called Vajra and that they came to fear, adore and deify their Super Dimension power to the extent of imitating its form, Protoculture technology being an example of this with their Space fold devices, Super Dimension weaponry and the " Bird Human " protoculture mecha from Macross Zero, which was designed to resemble a Vajra Queen.
