During the auction of parts of Earth in the Middle Blue Period, the Brothers purchased a section of the Amazon which they moved to the Panjassic Asteroid Field. Performing accelerated evolution on these trees, they became the Forest of Cheem within two hundred years. The Forest came in conflict with the authoritative nature of their creators and demanded freedom; the Brothers, having learned from past mistakes in evolutionary experiments, agreed to the Forest's terms and granted them independence.
