Genetic Adaptation: Difference between revisions

This is a [[Sister Trope|counterpart]] to the [[Fisher Kingdom]], except it is the outsiders that willingly impose the transformations upon themselves, rather than the environment.

 

If the transformed species ever meets its original version, expect to find [[An Aesop]] about [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]] (if from the humans' point of view) and/or [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]] (if from the natives' point of view).

 

* This is a major part of ''[[Avatar]]'''s plot, though humans don't change their bodies, instead remotely controlling eponymous avatars.

* In [[Clifford Simak]]'s ''City'' series of novels, the only way to survive on Jupiter is to become a jupiterian. When such a technology is discovered, people find out that jupiterians are absolutely superior to humans in every single way: they are immortal, superintelligent, telepathic, et cetera. Thus everybody just move son Jupiter, and humanity as a species ceases to be.
