Terraneous Generation

Terraneous Generation is a biogeneration mode, one of the ways live can orginate. It produces organisms with cells, cytoplasm and a specific chemical composition allowing for multicellular organisms. Terraneous Generation is the second most common biogeneration mode, after Martian Generation. 34% of all discovered planets exhibiting life forms have a biosphere that features Terraneous organisms. One important feature of Terraneous Generation is that most evolution paths it takes lead to a situation where autotrophic organisms start producing oxygen, allowing for multicellular organisms.

Terraneous Generation is named after Terra. Folkvangr is an example of a planet with Terraneous life forms making it suitable for inhabitation.

Terraneous organisms often involve in plants, animals, fungi and various groups of micro organisms (27 different groups identified thus far). Terraneous biospheres are the most suitable habitats for humans and other Terraneous species. Terraneous species from different planets almost always go well together in terms of bio-tolerance and ecosystem integration.

Terraneous Generation is one of the biogeneration modes that has very strict evolution parameters, meaning that often species from different planets resemble each other to the point of being indistinguishable. This also means that species that are limited to one or only a few planets of the Terraneous planet pool still exhibit the common features found in Terraneous life forms. Randomized factors determine whether or not the biospheres of Terraneous planets have certain identical species. One of the most studied examples is yeast, which seems to be present on every known Terraneous planet.

Terraneous life forms unique to a single planet are often members of Dead End Groups (DEGs), which seem to be deviations from standard evolution patterns within Terraneous Evolution Paths.

Humans, a Terraneous life form, are a species of the primate subset (MEP167-PRIM) of Mammal Evolution Path (MEP167). They are limited to six discovered planets. Researchers have extrapolated that there may be many more planets within the Reachable Universe that are inhabited by humans.

Simultaneous development of humans happened as a result of changes in the composition of background noise, causing ice ages throughout certain parts of the universe which led to Rapid Evolution. It is believed that six planets had sufficiently developed MEP167-PRIM subsets to allow for Rapid Human Evolution (RHE).
