What about the earth itself? Do they guide continent formation? Plate-tectonics? Do we always end up with South America and Buenos Aires? Same languages? Do we get spanish speakers avery time a new universe pops up? Indians who use feathers in their heads?<BR>

Just pulling your leg. I'm a bit fuzzy about the "Hiero's" role in human evolution on Earth but I remember reading that in the books and here at the list. But I don't think it implies that Earth, Mars, the Sun, the Moon, etc always pop up every time. I'm not sure that was what Wolfe wanted to imply. It makes far more sence to me that Urth is our Earth in the future, especially since Wolfe himself implies so in the interviews.<BR>
