mc776The best stupid pun ever.
But I don’t want to stop there. There a few deeper and more mysterious applications of this. The Lamb slain at the foundation of the world as a type of evolution.
That said, another, biologically more, philosophicallyless cf. colonials: more* ambitious take on the Nth Men story.
(Also he has thought out giant spiders :O :O :O||||~)
*2014-08-21 EDIT: The more I think about it, the more I think Bogleech is right. This is better in every way: humane where MAM was profoundly misanthropic, humble where F&LM was arrogant and certain, hopeful even in death where MAM and F&LM are ambivalent. This is what science fiction ought to be.

On Sol III the dominant species is a yellow grass with very big seeds. It grows in large squares all over the dry land of the planet. It is spread and serviced by a symbiote that gathers resources for it and greatly alters the landscape to more of it might be grown. In return the symbiote is rewarded with a portion of its seeds, which have evolved to contain large nutrient containers within them but are apparently subject to further processing by the symbiote. The symbiote is capable of language and the hive mind coordinates itself by emitting a combination of radio and sound waves. Some have argued that it might be simpler to frame this ecology as these symbiotes being the dominant species and the grass a hanger-on; but the facts on their face do not support this analysis, as it is observed that several factions within the symbiote hive-mind literally worship the grass's gift as their god.
