You are part of a small group of humans rocketed at “warp speed” to Planet X, without any books, weapons, or technology. Planet X has no ozone layer to protect its surface from cancer-causing ultraviolet radiation, but native plants and animals have evolved to live safely there. Below the surface, the planet has a network of underground tunnels, just a meter high, which are inhabited by carnivorous predators.
Write 3 paragraphs using the vocabulary words we discussed today in class about how descendants of the group of humans would look and act after evolving for 100,000 years on Planet X.
Use these vocabulary words:
• Evolution
• Mutation
• Non-random Mating
