In science fiction, uplift is the intervention in the evolution of species of low-intelligence or even nonsentient species in order to increase their intelligence. [1] This is usually accomplished by cultural, technological, or evolutionary interventions such as genetic engineering.
Aspects of genetics including mutation, hybridisation, cloning, genetic engineering, and eugenics have appeared in fiction since the 19th century. Genetics is a young science, having started in 1900 with the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel 's study on the inheritance of traits in pea plants.
Following the upload of an abridged version of the book's story by YouTuber Alt Shift X in June 2021, [6] All Tomorrows saw a particular surge in popularity online during the summer of 2021.

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.The exact definition of a genetically modified organism and what constitutes genetic engineering varies, with the most common being an organism altered in a way that "does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination". [1]
This category lists characters in literature, television, film, and comic books that are transgenics; i.e. have had their genes manipulated due to genetic engineering See also the categories Genetically modified organisms , Fictional geneticists , and Fiction about genetic engineering
Genetic engineering techniques allow the modification of animal and plant genomes. Techniques have been devised to insert, delete, and modify DNA at multiple levels, ranging from a specific base pair in a specific gene to entire genes. There are a number of steps that are followed before a genetically modified organism (GMO) is created.
