Pak Protector: Encyclopedia II - Pak Protector - Tree Of Life

Tree-of-Life is a bush whose smell is unnoticeable to breeders until they reach about 25 Pak years (or 42 human years); after that, the smell suddenly becomes irresistible. The breeder eats the root, infecting himself with a symbiotic virus in the root and triggering the transition. After consuming Tree-of-Life, Pak breeder forms (such as humans) turn into the Pak Protector form, which involves reconfiguration of the anatomy, including the acquisition of a leathery armor or exoskeleton, strong enough to turn a copper knife. Joints swe ...

Exoskeleton - Exoskeletons in medicine. An orthosis (plural orthoses) is a device which attaches to a limb, or the torso, to support the function or correct the shape of that limb or the spine.

Pak Protector: Encyclopedia II - Pak Protector - Narrative purpose

It appears that Larry Niven created the Pak Protectors partly to show that high intelligence is simply an evolutionary tool. There have been some movements in SF that equate high intelligence with selflessness, civilization and altruism. Pak protectors are slaves to their instincts, which hard-wire their goals and priorities. Their intelligence serves evolutionary goals in order to preserve their species in a hostile environment. Niven has stated in other writings that he invented the Protectors as a thought experiment to explain the ...

Pak Protector: Encyclopedia II - Pak Protector - The Pak and Humanity

Humans are descended from Pak breeders that were stranded on Earth 2.5 million years ago. The protectors that built the colony ship died out from lack of food. The reason why humans evolved beyond the original Pak breeder form (Homo habilis) is that the Tree-of-Life virus requires thallium in the soil to survive and Earth is not adequately thallious; all our Pak Protectors died out mill ...

Pak Protector: Encyclopedia II - Pak Protector - Protector behaviour

Pak Protectors have an in-built need to look after (or protect, hence the name) their "parent" breeder species. Protectors recognize their own breeder family line by scent, and are instinctively compelled to act in the best interests of breeder relatives. Pak Protectors will fight among themselves to procure land and resources for their respective breeder populations, often leading to the violent deaths of entire Pak family lines. A Pak Protector with no breeders to protect will generally stop eating and quickly starve, although some breeder ...

Pak Protector: Encyclopedia II - Pak Protector - The Pak species

Pak evolved on a planet near the core of the galaxy. Increased radiation levels at the core cause severe mutations that can destabilize the evolution process. As a result, the Pak evolved a mechanism to eliminate dangerous mutations from the population. That mechanism is the protector stage. Pak go through three stages of development: Child, Breeder and Protector. Child Pak are sexually immature and ...
