- | Morbitian evolution takes inspiration from real life evolution, various (failed) evolutionary theories, and the idea of collective will. It is not an exact science on a meta-level nor will it ever be fully defined as such, and can be interpreted however creators feel is necessary and/or interesting for a story, or left out entirely if a creator deems it irrelevant. | + | Morbitian evolution takes inspiration from real-life evolution, various (failed) evolutionary theories, and the idea of collective will.

- | In the case of skill based traits, we can look at the example of a Morbitian getting skilled at hand to hand combat. If they gained a significant amount of skill and felt positively about it in some form (be that genuine appreciation or its sheer benefit towards survival), their offspring may inherit muscle memory for that fighting style. It may never come up or be noticed or relevant, and could go completely undeveloped by the Morbitian in question, but it has the chance to be there.

Health conditions can also be impacted by this to a degree, but are less likely to be affected by perception if the condition is typically genetic (such as conditions like bipolar, heart conditions, addiction, etc). With that said, traits related to adapting to conditions are fairly common; for example, someone with PTSD learning coping strategies to actively deal with and recover from their symptoms has a chance of passing down an inclination towards those coping strategies- though whether they are actually learned and used are up to the individual in question. It is always possible for a passed down trait to go entirely unnoticed and irrelevant, thus making it impossible to be passed down further. | Health conditions can also be impacted by this to a degree, but are less likely to be affected by perception if the condition is typically genetic (such as conditions like bipolar, heart conditions, addiction, etc).
