* In ''[[Killzone]]'', the [[A Nazi by Any Other Name|Hellghast]] are the result of colonists adapting to a [[Death World]].They aren't happy about it. |

* In ''Surface Tension'' by James Blish humans colonize a mostly water-covered planet by creating a race of humanoids out of their own genes hand-crafted to best suit this planet, and leaving all their knowledge, up to and including how to build spaceships, in form of tablets to be read when they develop enough to manage to do so. The driving point of the story is that being made to perfectly suit the world in question includes being ''microscopic''. |

* In Jack Chalker's "Downtiming the Night Side," it's said that most of the humans who moved to other planets had to radically alter their bodies to survive; most don't even look human now, though they still think of themselves as such. |

* In ''[[Transhuman Space]]'', Mars is terraformed, but not to the extent that normal humans can cope with the conditions. Most of the population still live in pressure-domes, but a sizable minority have been "bio-modded" to fit the environment. In addition a large minority of the Rust China population are [[Artificial Human|bioroids]] genetically engineered for Mars. |
