Direct from the Eastern Block Scientific Research Directorate:
Theory of ‘Track’ Evolution
A subset of Interplanetary Evolutionary Biology
The nature, physical and chemical, of organic molecules provide life with a
finite number of genetic traits that can be evolved. Furthermore, they are
arranged in a tree like order, such that evolution of one trait disables and
enables the evolution of further traits. This gives rise to a
inter-planetary division of life, such that plants from one planet will
resemble plants from another planet, even if such planets have no direct
contact, given that the planets have similiar conditions. It is the role of
the Interplanetary Evolutionary Biologist to track different traits and how
they organize into orders, families, and species. It is because of Track
Evolution that intelligent species tend towards higher apes, as it is within
the evolutionary ‘track’ of primates to develop intelligence.

thought this might be an interesting thought.

Arg. On a geeking note, there was a Star Trek theory that followed the same
idea...transposing it to parallel development in planets. They invoked it in
the one were the planet Zion was transformed into a Nazi state. However it
ended up being the work of a Fed anthrobiologists convinced he could make nice
Nazis, or ‘Nicezis’.
Two tribbles to the person who can name the theory...I can’t.
Sorry Lenny...no intent here to hijack or derail and interesting topic. I would
comment on it, but my theories of macrolinear evolutionary development only goes
as far as early 60’s campy sci-fi. ;P
Now if Giddens had started it, I would have hijacked it with everything from my
favorite colour to memories of old bunyons.
