Survivors of the Ancient Sea: Mollusks

[p]Greetings Universe Architects,[/p][p][/p][p]Space may be vast, but so is the sea. The Primary Simulation continues to evolve with a new chapter of life. These invertebrates have endured for hundreds of millions of years and remain a beloved staple in human history and culture. Follow Semblance as she simulates the evolutionary journey of — Mollusks.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Official Trailer YouTube Video: [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]Mollusks are among the oldest invertebrates on the planet, dating back over 545 million years, with more than 100,000 known species. From the depths of the sea to arid deserts, mollusks have adapted to thrive across a wide range of environments. Spanning across snails, oysters, octopuses, and more, discover what makes each species unique.[/p]
