Will we continue to call them Cockraoches, Rats and Humans or will they be a "new " species. Stronger for passing the intense test to their survival, and clearly a little diffent from the norm, but are they a new species?
I would suggest the survivors may very well be from and extreme end of the bell curve but, they aren't new. Just stronger, better able to survive.
One would think, that the creator would have such planning engineered into the system. Otherwise it would eventualy fail. The crucibels that burn off the weak are ignited often. Perhaps this is why. Again, an intelligent design.
The average engineering involves creation of something with the intent that it is duplicated exactly as long as it is marketable. Ergo; as long as it functions, it survives. Instead we have a system that constantly challenges itself. This automatic purging produces stronger, better, sometimes different outcomes. Pure genius.
Would you have thought of it?
Hmmmm?
