Okay so i might be killing a lot of shit people made and idc, but if youāre ever gonna do science fiction and want realism you sure as hell dont wanna read a lot of these as if humans are these ultra deadly indestructible dudes, because we are, but also, the way our perceived way of adaption needs a problem, otherwise its just gonna be something in the population, resulting in a lot of individuals with diverse mutations. But the second any sort of problem, like in our case competing with each other and food scarcity during an age where a lot more of the planet was cold as fuck. So basically we can expect from this that the majority of highly durable, intelligent life would come from death worlds. Evolution is a speciesās fight against its natural stressors, like for the therapods they gradually ended up running and using wing like structures to balance and evolution favored those better adapted to running with these newĀ āwingsā, making them large and eventually they could flap, so then the less dense their bones were and the more aerodynamic they were the more they could flap, turning into what we know as birds. Now what was the stress? Bigger therapods like our beloved t-rex. My point is basically death worlds should harbor the most intelligent life, where things in a permanent glory era will plateau. So in essence death worlds would make more intelligent life than this humans are weird planets where its all good, because then they dont need to adapt.Ā
