[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cadet Sorak: [qb]Are we forgetting here that Klingons are NOT Humans? They're alien, remember? They have vastly different physiology than us, as McCoy and Crusher have complained about frequently. [/qb][/QUOTE]One thing I've always been irritated by in Star Trek is the sloppiness shown in the handling of biology (don't even get me started in their idiocy regarding DNA). They want these humanoid aliens to be alien, but they don't have the slightest inkling about what constitutes a species. The very definition of "species" is a "a group of similar individuals that can usually breed amongst themselves and producer fertile offspring". Humans can't breed with chimpanzees (think of the mother-in-law problems...), even though we're virtually indistinguishable from them genetically. And since these "aliens" make the same facial expressions as humans do, that indicates a virtually identical musculature. Furthermore, the very "fact" that humans can (and apparently do) boink and have babies with all kinds of humanoids tends since to support this. If these different "races" are able to mate and have kids, as has been seen numerous times, the psysiology can't be that different. Then there's TNG's "The Chase" which made canon that many of these humanoid species were of the same genetic heritage. [/QB][/QUOTE]
