Hm... inhuman hotness?

[SweeneyxxTodd]

My guess would be he's not human because he's not descended from us. He's just from a planet where their genetics are very similar.

Okay, here's a question that has been bothering me. It may have been answered already... maybe even in TOSOT, and I just missed it, haha. But yeah, so Nav. He's...not human.

What exactly is it that makes him not human? What differentiates him physically from humans? Outside of the cyborg stuff, cuz that isn't part of his normal anatomy.

It's been bugging me for a while, lol. I'm sure it's been answered somewhere, though. But a reminder would be awesome, since I can't recall seeing it anywhere.

*glances at Flank's answer*


Heh heh heh heh heh... :P

OHlol Katie you've been spending too much time thinking about speciation and genetics.

Be that as it may, I still want an answer! :P :D

RANDOM GALACTIC ANTHROPOLOGIST: Ahem, yes, I see. The Numerians. A fascinating people.
**adjust spectacles**
Very little is known about the origin of the Numerian people. Their own oral history goes back only 5,000 years - beyond that, there are no real records of their existence.

Considering Numeria's prominent features - such as a lack of other primate species, arid climate, lack of seasons (caused by a 1 degree tilt on their axis), and small oceans - it seems strange that the Numerians would have evolved to be almost genetically identical with the people of Earth. Several theories have been proposed to explain this phenomenon.

The first theory suggests that humans and Numerians are perhaps the most dramatic example of parallel evolution imaginable - a sort of interplanetary fluke of flabbergasting proportions. The current differences in the planet's features are due to a cataclysmic event of some kind that occurred about 5,000 years ago, and not only wiped out a large percentage of the life on the planet, but also altered the climate and destroyed whatever civilization may have preceded it.

The other main theory is favored by alien abduction buffs, and suggests that one of the other alien races in the galaxy actually took a number of humans from Earth and transplanted them on Numeria some 50 centuries ago. The motivation behind such an action is unclear.

The latter theory seems to be supported by the Numerian creation story, which states that their people walked down from the sky 5,000 years ago on a stairway of fire. Hmm, the Numerian religion is quite fascinating. In addition to being fully integrated into every aspect of social and political life, it also provided a myriad of references to "good, evil, and apathetic celestial beings". Consequently, when contact was made with extraterrestrials, no panic ensued. In fact, it only served to cement the other tenets of religious life.

NAV: Ya, like rampant sexism, idiotic self-importance, and complete lack of logical thought.

RANDOM GALACTIC ANTHROPOLOGIST: Ah, yes, well, it is not my place to judge.

NAV: Well it IS mine, and I say that Numeria is one big fat steaming pile of STUPID.

Very interesting. Seriously, very interesting.

Thanks for writing all this stuff. There is a lot of information.

[RocksmySocks]

Yay! An answer! :lol:

Love it, Mara. Ah, good ol' alien abductions. Man, do they love messing with humans!

[Beks]

Hey, what about my question? :o I asked FC something. ;)

:lol: This is great. I'm saving this quote...

Answer is coming! I'm just stuck in anthropology mode from too many hours in the arch./anthro. lab :drool:

Alien abduction theories?

Is it possible you've been watching too much Stargate? :P

Impossible.

There's not such thing as too much Stargate :lol:

So true.

I must admit when I heard that question, it was my first thought. But I never thought you'd actually give the answer I was thinking of. It was some kind of eerie moment.

[SweeneyxxTodd]

Hey Mara, I've been wondering something. What's your major? Is it anthropology or archeology? Because you seem to mention those classes frequently.

It's anthropology, but I'm taking archaeology classes too :lol:

Okay, I have a legitimate question for DJ.

If, by an unusual occurence, Aurora (or Cindy) were exposed to Megalomanium at the same time you were (say, she dropped the bottle at her feet and it wafted up into her face) and became mad with power, what would you have done? Would you have joined forces with her and take over the universe together? Or would you have seen her as an enemy, and try to take her down as soon as possible?

KRISTA: And make the answer long, please, Mara. I love to hear my beloved talk :kawaii:
ME: . . .

PIGQUET: LOL, she said, "Would you have joined forces?" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
KAZ: Oh, Lord, no. *cracks up*
ME: I so did not mean it like that.
*Pigquet and Kaz keep laughing*
ME: . . .
