What I meant is that stars are born, they procreate (by spewing out new seeds for further star formation), then grow old. Stars "evolved" to be mostly smaller and longer lived due to higher metallicity. They compete for food and they occasionally consume each other. They sometimes live in packs facilitating further star formation, for a time. Some ancient stars have whole galaxies spinning around them, occasionally feeding on their entourage and growing ever larger.
Can you give an example of a property a star might have because having that property made its ancestor stars better at producing descendant stars with that property?
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
