Conclusion
Now that you have classified the organisms on planet Fabula, answer the following questions:
1. How many different species are there?

3. Do you think all of these creatures would belong in the same Kingdom? Why or why not?
Yes, they all look similar, /have alike traits and are from the same planet. Like humans and apes.
4. Explain in your own words the order in which the creature's traits may have evolved, starting from the first likely trait. (Hint: Which trait is most common across the creatures?)
Two eyes, because there are more of them then the ones with one eye.
