Fantastical beings from distant worlds have been a staple of the genre since its conception. Yet while entertaining, not all pop-culture aliens are the most scientifically rigorous. But The Yaetuan Sagas, a vast new speculative evolution project from talented artist Christian Cline, explores its titular species with breathtaking detail. With over two hundred pages dedicated to the Yaetuan’s epic journey from microbes to the stars, the book might be the densest exploration of a single alien species ever written. So, for this entry into the archive, we’ll attempt to fathom the sheer complexity of the Yaetuans with a little help from the author himself… 0:00 The Yaetuan Sagas 0:56 Dawn of Life 5:43 Rise of Civilization 9:43 Fires of Industry 13:42 Exodus and Beyond 18:15 Innumerable Stars 21:20 Support the Project Copyright Disclaimer: Under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.
