It took me 6 turn to finally win because I did not know which traits were the best for that environment. It took so long because of changes in the environment. this suggests that most species that lived million of years ago are either extinct or really different.
At first i chose the small legged green one because I did not know what traits were best. When I chose the long legged spiky one it still died. So then I chose the long legged hairless one and it survived. I survived because when the big monster came they were able to run away.
Genetic drift played a big part in this game. All the time I was about to win some predator would come out of nowhere and kill them off. Some of those who survived had different genes that allowed them to thrive.
The dominant alleles were long legs and being hairless. Being hairless helped because the creatures lived in hot environment. Having long legs helped them outrun predators. I can tell because the ones with genes that were not best suited for the environment died.
In cold condition it would really help to have lots of fur, and smaller legs. In hot conditions you would need to be hairless and have long legs. If a new predator came around you would need long legs to run away from the predators. If there is new tall food source you would need to have both long legs and a long neck.
If I could change the game to make it better I would make it look a lot more realistic. I would also add different types of predators and not the same one over and over again. I would also change the environment because it would not stay the same for one million years.It might also be interesting to add some natural disasters.
