Through advanced techniques of genetic engineering and cyborgization, completely new clades of humanity and other Earth species were created, including space-adapted humans, Homo superior, animal "provolves", and human-animal "splices" (the latter originally as toys for the rich).




Explanation:

Clades: instead of familiar sci fi terms like "races" or "species", the more inclusive term clades is adopted from evolutionary theory to refer to an evolutionary branch of humanity (or other sentient being) that share common characteristics.
