パントロピー

tl;dr 現在の体質や種の生物学的能力にとって敵対的な別の惑星で生活できるように、人類を遺伝子的に改変し、適応させるという概念。エロヒムが地球上の人類を自分たちのイメージに合わせて遺伝子操作することで確立した継続性は、パントロピーの一例として理解できます。

Pantropy refers to the idea of modifying humans (or other forms of life) to be able to survive in environments such as exoplanets that are otherwise inhospitable. For example, instead of terraforming Mars so humans could live there, pantropy would suggest modifying humans so they could live on Mars as it is. This could involve genetic engineering or other biotechnological interventions to make humans more resistant to cold, able to breathe different air, or even survive without water for longer periods. In simpler terms, pantropy is like customizing people to fit different environments, instead of customizing environments to fit people.
