Story of Evolution
The first ancestor, the flat fluctus, was suited to live on the surface of a plain and
barren environment. Eventually, climate change caused harsh winds and tornados to constantly
sweep over the land. The flat fluctus needed to be on the ground to absorb nutrients, but winds
blew them into the air, causing them to die from lack of nutrients or slamming into trees. In order
to survive the new harsh environment, flat fluctus developed long, pointed ends to dig/stick in
the ground. Their heads also narrowed because it was the only part of organisms that would stick
out of the ground; a smaller head made it more difficult for predators to pull them from the
ground.
Next, the inner head shape attracted certain mates, causing behavioral evolution between
cross, line, and star heads. Domed heads were more aerodynamic, so wind traveled over them
smoothly and a new branch of species with this attribute developed and thrived. Color varied to
camouflage with the environment. The first pointy-ended species had smooth shafts. Eventually,
they evolved to have indents to have slightly better grip in the ground. This kept them safe from
the wind and kept predators from plucking and eating them. Indents were the transitional
These threaded organisms had the best grip. Some evolved to have points while a few
evolved to have holes in the center. This was so that they could safely catch onto any upright
structure to avoid being blown to and fro by the restless wind, eventually dying of malnutrition.
The hollow organism evolved to become heavier so that they could have more grounding and
avoid whiplash from the wind. Some of these holed organisms developed wings to fly up into the
trees even in the absence of wind. A U-shaped species developed two pointed ends to have two
Along with change in climate, there was major seismic movement. This created a unique
ecosystem where a small population of flat fluctus were separated from the rest by a tall
mountain that blocked off all wind. Instead of having to evolve to survive the wind, these
organisms evolved to avoid being eaten. These predators ate metal, so flat fluctus evolved
become more plastic. Another species evolved to have hooks, allowing them hang from trees and
avoid predators on the ground. One advantageous organism had both a hole and threads that
allowed it to either hang in trees or dig underground as needed. The hexagonal organisms were
parasites that latched onto the threaded organisms with their own inner threads. The dome
hexagonal was a predator which developed the dome to cover the points of organisms so that
they lost the ability to dig underground. Some of the pointed organisms lost their points, because
their environment had ground which was too soft and muddy due to heavy rainfall. Those that
stayed underground died from flooding, while the flat-headed organisms on the surface survived
and reproduced.
