Jul 14, 2008 - I'm just not convinced a global 'monoculture' won't evolve either. If it's big enough.. it'll only be a monoculture on the surface. There will always be pockets of different behaviour and new ideas that get adopted. However.. it may limit the possible evolutionary paths that can be chosen. Planetary colonisation might allow more radical evolution in different directions and on a faster timescale.

Jul 14, 2008 - Naturally occurring evolution relies on vast numbers of deaths of the competing organisms.I guess though, that like Nations, competing inter-planetary civilizations wouldn't necessarily need to wipe each other out to evolve.. As they are self examining and self-modifying - they can see they are on a path to destruction, or they are 'losing' and can adapt.
