The difference between evolution and extinction is often a case of very fine margins.

One of our core principles for our world building is that evolution would never follow the exact same path twice – so the biosphere on Hu should contain some substantial variations to our Earth.

  1. Species that went extinct on Earth survived on Hu
  2. Species that never evolved on Earth evolved on Hu
  3. Species that survived on Earth went extinct on Hu
  4. Species enjoyed differing levels of success on Hu vs Earth

Species that went extinct on Earth survived on Hu

  1. Dodos – Have been domesticated by the people of Asu.
  2. Mammoths – Living wild in the tundra of Hahnunah.
  3. Demon Ducks – Living wild in the savannahs of Alkebulan.
  4. Archelon (giant turtles) – Living wild off the seas off Yalabya.
