Screenshot from “Great North Road” by Peter F. Hamilton “Variance checking clued me in. There is no variety even within a species.

There's no cross-fertilization, the spores simply reproduce the parent plant. Each species' genetic composition is fixed. We knew they are all parentho- genetic, but this is like perfect clone reproduction. There is only one of every- thing. Do you understand what that means?" "There must be some variation, a degree of genetic drift. Look at the Norths, each generation is a little different than the last. A little worse." "Forget our world. Comparisons are worthless. The plants here are a billion years ahead of us. St. Libra's plants don't mutate or evolve because there's no need to. They're the pinnacle of their world's evolution."

"I compared the genomes on plant varieties we've encountered here in the middle of Brogal against the same species growing on Ambrose. They're identical."
