Hybridization is the process of
combining two different organisms to create a new
and unique one. It's like the ultimate genetic mixer
party, where the genes of two species come together
to create a hybrid that has characteristics of both
parents.
Now, you might be thinking, "Why would anyone
want to do that?" Well, the answer is simple: hybridization
can create some truly remarkable and unique
plants and creatures.
So next time you're feeling bored with the same old
animals and plants, remember that there's a whole
world of hybridization out there waiting to be explored.
Who knows what crazy combinations you
might discover?
The long history of Hybridization
started as far back as our settlement as the human
species. We selected crops with specific genetics to
grow stronger and more nurishing. In the present,
Hybridization impacts many facets of our lives. Almost
every crop produced now is altered genetically,
as well as some animals we domesticate. We were
inspired by our prompt's connection to nature and
our history, so we decided to theme our piece around
Multiple Ancient Cultures that paved the path for
modern day agriculture practices, which often included
noble headgear in the shape of various animals
and hybrids. Our final piece is the "Transmutator", a
warrior from the wild with mythical abilities.
