Evolution is the development and change of organisms over time, closely linked to mutation and natural selection. On Earth a Human scientist, Charles Darwin, "discovered" and popularized the idea.

- Professor Richard Lazarus had created a machine that rejuvinated himself, or in simpler terms he made himself younger. This transformation also accidentally unlocked a rejected option for human evolution, making him a scorpion- like mutant. (DW: The Lazarus Experiment).
