The plant died off after the fact and civilization fell, but then the "Nymph" stage was able to improve themselves and go beyond what a Nymph was thought to be capable of--and build our current civilization. The space-faring human race thought it impossible for the nymph stage to think beyond reproduction (the "adults" don't reproduce). Ringworld has a HUGE number of really interesting and novel concepts... probably more than any other sci-fi book I've ever read. I highly recommend it. | |
