Line 48: What's more, he created the Pemalites specifically so that ''they'' would go out and "spread life around the universe". Also, several Earth vegetables were apparently imported by crab people during the Cretaceous period. * This is alluded to—and it's all the more memorable because it comes out of freakin' ''[[~~Big~~Non ~~Lipped~~Sequitur ~~Alligator Moment~~Scene\|nowhere]]'' (it's very against the grain of the overall tone of the novels)- in the ''Quintaglio Ascension'' trilogy. Turns out that there was a ridiculously powerful species that lived in the universe that existed before this one (stay with me), all but one died when the universe we know was formed, and that one last being seeded different planets with life forms—from Earth, which is the only planet where life formed naturally. Heady stuff. * [[Larry Niven]] has done this at least twice. In his [[Known Space]] future history, nearly all alien species evolved from food yeast grown to feed the Thrint and their subjects. Then, about 3 million years ago, a species called the Pak colonized the Earth and became ''Homo habilis''. * One [[The Authority\|Authority]] story had the team face off against an alien life-form the size of the moon -- "the closest thing to God" that had "planted" life millions of years ago. Subverted in that life on the planet didn't develop as it should have, leading to, among others, the rise of humanity.
