How Does Evo-Ed: History, Genetics Work?

Evo-Ed is like a game where you get to watch how creatures change over time, using history and genetics as your tools.

Imagine you have a box of building blocks, these are the genes that make up each creature. Every time a new creature is born, it gets some blocks from its parents, but maybe it swaps one or two with different ones, this is like genetics in action!

Now imagine you're keeping track of how these creatures change over many years, this is like writing a story about their lives, and that's the history part. You can see how they grow stronger, faster, or maybe even change color because of the blocks (genes) they got.

How History Helps

History in Evo-Ed is like looking at old photos of your family, you can see how people changed from one generation to another. In the game, this helps you understand why some creatures are better at surviving than others.

How Genetics Works

Genetics is like choosing which toys go into a gift bag, sometimes you get what you expect, and other times it's a surprise! This shows how traits can be passed on or changed from one creature to another.
