Genetic Evolution; The Race for Intelligent Life

I will get all the blue mana. Nobody can stop my +3/0 island plants.

New Species: Terrestrial Trunk
The Terrestrial Trunk is an adaptation of Trunks for land colonization. Most noticeably, the body is considerably larger, now matching the size of a human hand. It also sports roots and thicker leaves to fend off harsh winds.

Time moves on for our young planet, and new life continues to take shape further still.

    Around the area of East and West Wonderna and the Sounds of Wonder, all appears as it was last time at first glance, but on closer inspection, in the rocky belt of the Stevian Foothills, an new form of flora has emerged, Sirdukus primus, more commonly called Sir Duke.  The plant's denser skin allows it to survive in the lower moisture levels of the foothills. To the south, we will find another new species, this time, in the form of the tiny planktonic worm, Superstition primus. this tiny, new creature, has developed a thicker skin to help lock in warmth, allowing it to survive in its home on the subtropical shelf that stretches from the southern coast of West Wonderna down to the planet's southernmost continent.  Traveling back east across the Ana'teth Sea, we stop out in the open water once more. This time however, we visit four different subtropical shelves around its edge, Vi'goth Shelf on the north coast of East Wonderna, And'roth Bay on the northern coast of Yoggoth Isle, Yoggasoth Coast along the western coastline of the great continent, and the Sinna'teth Shelf, spanning the southwestern coast of the great continent, stretching over and around two as yet vacant landmasses off the tail of the great continent and across  to the northeastern coast of the southern continent. At each of these four locations, we find yet more of the translucent Bab'eth, who have recently expanded their range to include these areas.  Continuing our journey, and returning once again to Yoggoth Isle, we find that a new plant species, Gorg-a'thor populating further inland on the island, away from the coast, its broad triangular leaves and tentacle-like stalks gently waving in the sea breeze.  Traveling south-east to Cerulean Island, we find that the Blue Alga and Bluestalks growing above the waterline have increased in population. In the waters below, a new sight, the unusual flat-bodied filter feeder, Vesol. Looking further out into the deeper waters off the Ikea Shelf, we find further populations of Vesol undulating through the water.  Next we resume our eastward journey, to the Greatest Named Tropics, and its companion shelf. the differences can be noted almost immediately, both the Green Alga and Primordial Failure have spread further up the rocks. Cresting the cliffs, among the highest growth, a new plant, very similar to the Primordial Failure can be seen. This plant is known among scientific communities jokingly as the Basic Small Failure, a ten centimeter high plant, boasting two photosynthetic disks, one almost completely overshadowing the other. (This being the reason for the jesting nickname.) Down below on the shelf, further populations of Basic Small Failures can clearly be seen growing atop the highest rocks beneath the waves.  Finally our journey once again returns us to the rocky eastern shores of Primeval Shelf Six. Zeroing in on Ruby Island, a new shape can be seen growing atop the mats of Red Alga and near the populations of Trunk at the coasts. This plant, called the Terrestrial Trunk, grows to a height of ten centimeters, roughly the size of a human hand, its roots sprawling outward over the rocks in all directions.  Truly, I can only imagine where life will go from here, will it thrive and explode in all manner of further shapes and sizes, or will it develop slowly at a gentle incline? Only time will tell.

Once more we return to our young planet, and still life continues to evolve and change, but evolution is not devoid of conflict...

    Around the territory of East and West Wonderna, life has begun to expand, the tropical lakes of the two land masses filled with thriving colonies of White Alga, as their brethren reach out, over the land and into the waters of the Signed, Sealed, and Delivered Shelves. But all is not well in the cream colored paradise.  Invaders, Bab'eth Minor, and Bab'eth Marauder, have driven the white swimmer populations to extinction! To the south, more unrest. The recently evolved Sovereign and Harbinger, two mantle-bodied animals have out-competed the Superstition primus native to the area, and denied Superstition largus purchase in the local food chain!  However, the Superstition primus species has managed to survive by migrating into the Sea of Stevie to the west, but only just.  Out in the open waters of the Ana'teth Sea, further conflict has occurred, a local presence of Harbinger has forced out the filter feeding Vesol present there.  As a result of this pressure, the Vesol have spread outward to the Vi'goth Shelf, And'roth Bay, Yoggasoth Coast, and the Sinna'teth Shelf, and the new, larger filter feeder Seragogas has begun to trawl the waters of the Ana'teth.  Continuing our journey of discovery, we come to Cerulean Island, where we find that the native Vesol populations have been replaced by a recent, more adapted species, the Ikean Thin Vesol, a creature much better suited to gliding through the tropical waters on its broad wing-like fins.  Further east on our journey, we find that in the Greatest Named Tropics, life has been busy evolving, evidenced by the new Fungal Plants growing among the rocks at the shore, and among the shallows of its companion shelf.  The differences of this plant to its ancestors can easily be spotted, as it oddly resembles the form of a Terran Amanita mushroom on the surface.  However, winding underneath the sand and gravel, is shown the truth of this plant, a primitive vine structure, from which further Fungal Plants bud off of.  At fifty centimeters high, the mature Fungal Plant currently towers over all other flora on the continent.  Down in the water, a larger species has developed from the Green Swimmer, one thousand times the size of its ancestor in fact, now reaching a full centimeter in diameter.  This new species was jokingly called the Greenish Kraken at the time of its discovery, as a result of the sudden and comparatively massive size increase, in relation to the only other animals present on the shelf at the time; the Green Swimmer.  A short jaunt south to where the cooler waters of the Sinna'teth Shelf come into contact with the Greatest Named Tropics reveals the presence of a new form of Green Alga, nicknamed Pirated Alga for its nearly identical appearance.  Finally our journey returns us to the expanse of the Shoreline region, where Red Alga has begun to dot the coast above water.  Meanwhile, on Ruby Island, a shadow has fallen on the Red Algae mats the clusters of Trunks and their terrestrial brethren.  Growing to a height of fifty centimeters, the Ruby Fern Trunk casts its looming shadow over the other local flora, its large, burgundy fronds, lazily rustling in the breeze.  To the north, upon the Northern Shelf, a pair of species resistant to the cold have emerged, the North Alga, and North Trunk, bright red veins webbing their surface.

Truly, evolution has proven that it can be a harsh force of nature, but as we have seen, from adversity comes change, and its resulting speciations, as life continues on.
