Evolution of the Lumpties and Their Adaptive Journey

The video introduces Lumpties, a race on a planet similar to Earth. A galactic accident causes environmental changes, splitting Lumpties into two isolated groups. Over time, they adapt to their environments, leading to adaptive radiation and eventually allopatric speciation, forming new species.

What event caused the Lumpties' world to change drastically?

• A meteor strike

• A solar flare

• A freak galactic accident

• A volcanic eruption

What happened to the Lumpties as a result of the landmasses drifting apart?

• They became extinct

• They developed new technologies

• They migrated to another planet

• They were divided into two isolated groups

What is the term used to describe the Lumpties' adaptation to their environments?

• Natural selection

• Genetic drift

• Adaptive radiation

• Convergent evolution

How did the Lumpties' appearance change over time?

• They became larger

• They developed new physical traits suited to their environments

• They lost their ability to reproduce

• They became more intelligent

What is the process called when a species evolves into a new species due to geographic isolation?

• Sympatric speciation

• Allopatric speciation

• Peripatric speciation

• Parapatric speciation
