[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] Depending on the number of proto-Romulans that left Vulcan 2000 years ago, the genetic differences between Romulans and Vulcans in the 24th c could be enormous. Whenever small groups are isolated, interbreed, and establish a population, genes that were at very low frequency in the original population have a much higher frequency and become more "important." (The island effect) If the proto-Romulans were a oppressed minority group that had a slight racial difference from the Vulcan race, the racial difference could become more pronounced through isolation after emigration from Vulcan. Let's say that the original Vulcan population had a range of forehead ridges from completely human smooth to something looking like vulcans but that most people had fairly smooth foreheads. If the proto-Romulan group happened to have a higher number of people with more pronounced ridges (either by chance or by racial differences), the resulting Romulan population would naturally have more pronounced than Vulcans.
