The rules of mathematics, physics, and chemistry apply everywhere in our universe, but biology has yet to generalize beyond a single history of a single chemistry on a single planet: Earth. Scientists who have attempted to describe the universal laws of life have been restricted to studying interrelated animals, an imperfect fossil record, simple microbes in the lab, or agents in computer simulations.

On Xenoterra—and its infinite digital twins—we evolve complex virtual creatures that broaden our parochial understanding of life and its rules. “Endless forms most beautiful” await our discovery, along with the ever deeper, more wonderful mysteries they reveal about life, otherwise.
