Posted to the wiki - found via Joel Kaplan's site (copyrighter at AKQA), a video outlining Iris ( direct link ) and AKQA's Iris promo award submission site (overview from a meta standpoint) the entire Iris campaign - very slickly created! Though, it doesn't detail the story aspect of Iris as much as...

Actually, improvisation is a good thing - that makes the experience dynamic and allows the players to have a role in the story and become a part of it. The problem was that it wasn't improvised well enough, whoever's fault it may have been.

They would have to start a brand new civilization genetically related, and cut themselves off from it entirely - whether they bred with ancient humans, or not...
