As a result, the current Gradosians are, biologically speaking, exactly the same as Earth's humans.]]

* In Creator/CJCherryh's ''Literature/MorgaineCycle'' the precursors put humans on different planets with various different starting conditions as experiments in the development of human society/culture, and then used their {{Cool Gate}}s to [[TimeTravel travel into the future]] to see the results. However, one of the precursors used the gates to travel ''back'' in time and caused a TemporalParadox, with the resulting TimeCrash wiping out the precursors' galaxy-spanning civilization. The main characters use the precursors' PortalNetwork to travel from planet to planet, encountering feudal and tribal Transplanted Humans along the way.

to:

* ''Literature/KnownSpace'':
** ''Literature/ManKzinWars'':
In Creator/CJCherryh's ''Literature/MorgaineCycle'' "Cathouse", the main character finds himself stranded in an unfinished alien "wildlife preserve", consisting of sealed craters containing ecosystems that were populated by plants but whose animal stock was never taken out of temporal stasis. He sets about freeing the stasis-held creatures, which in the Earth ecosystem include a tribe of Neanderthals and a single Cro-magnon girl.
** ''Literature/{{Ringworld}}'': A variant. What modern science knows as ''Homo habilis'' is the reproductive stage of an alien species that calls itself the Pak, characterized by a post-adult stage, the Protectors, who consume a special food to become hyper-intelligent, nearly ageless protectors of their fertile younger kin. The Pak attempt to seed multiple interstellar colonies to escape the constant internecine fighting of their homeworld, which failed for a number of reasons, leaving their breeder populations to go feral and evolve independently. Earth was one such colony; another was the Ringworld, whose immense size and absence of native megafauna allowed the lost Pak to radiate into a wide variety of forms, from ones largely similar to modern humans to megafaunal grazers, arboreal dwarfs, nocturnal carrion-eaters, aquatic fish-hunters and many more.

* In Creator/JackVance's ''Literature/PlanetOfAdventure'' series, the earthman protagonist encounters transplanted humans living side-by-side with (and frequently dominated by) several species of sapient bona fide aliens on the titular planet.
* In Creator/DavidWeber's ''Literature/EmpireFromTheAshes'' trilogy, humans on Earth are transplants descended from the stranded crew of an interstellar warship which has disguised itself as the Moon. Humans were originally native to another planet, Mycos (as is all the other life on Earth -- explaining why it is biologically related to humanity). Note the Humans from the ship were descended from humans on Birhat, which survived the last cycle of destruction which claimed Mycos at the end of the Third Imperium. It's not fully known if the First and Second Imperiums were human.
* The ''Literature/{{Narnia}}'' series has a magical version of this to explain why there are humans in Narnia. They're all descended from a London cab driver and his wife, and/or Mediterranean brigands and their islander "wives", who came later, and/or from various similar transplants that aren't explicitly mentioned in the books but may have happened.

* ''Fanfic/ThereWasOnceAnAvengerFromKrypton'' uses this to explain why there are so many worlds in the Milky Way populated not by HumanAliens but ''actual'' humans. Specifically, in ''Eternity in Promise'', Moonstone explains that a number of the humans kept in the Diamonds' PeopleZoo escaped and were rescued by the Xanderians, with whom them eventually interbreeded, leading to a population boom that ended up colonizing many planets.

* ''Literature/TalesOfKaimere'': The multiple HumanSubspecies on Kaimere are the descendants of two different harvests of Homonoids. First were ''Homo erectus'' harvested from Southeast Asia 1.5 million years ago, who would diversify into the [[OurGiantsAreDifferent the seven-feet tall Hinterland Giants]], the [[TheSilentBob non-speaking Tlaton of the Polar Continent]], and the [[AbusivePrecursors the diminutive but "creative" First Children]]. Another harvest around 255 thousand years ago would bring in ''Homo sapiens'' from Africa, who would evolve into the common Kaimeran people. Modern humans also were brought to Kaimere, first as Clovis Americans from the final natural harvest 11,000 years ago or as slaves from America and the Mediterranian during the Mercantile Age.

Added DiffLines:

* During the [[ComicBook/XMenTheKrakoanAge Krakoan Age]] event ''ComicBook/XOfSwords'', it's revealed that [[GeniusLoci Krakoa]] is actually half of a larger landmass Okkara, which was split in half and along with its people lost to another dimension during an [[HordeOfAlienLocusts incursion of demon hordes]]. There they spent the next thousands of years fighting a HopelessWar against armies of demons, culturally evolving to the point even their members born human don't identify as such any longer.
