Didnt Jadzia receive some gene therapy in ordet to be compatible with Worf?

The Galaxy will know true fear when a Ferengi-Klingon Hybrid is born. Half ruthless warrior, half ruthless entrepreneur.

Something I want to point out, many humans can't get blood transfusions from each other but can still have children together. So it wouldn't really be surprising that vulcans and romulans could have children but couldn't get blood transfusions from each other.

" _Now Spock... When you see a behind like that. It's only Logical._ "

As my RPG gorn doctor says. "Give me enough time, coffee and duct tape and there isn't any DNA starfleet medical can't make mix."

I really want to see a Vulcazoid. The breeding of a Vulcan and Betazoid, A mix like that would have unparalleled psychic and telepathic abilities.

I want to see a Klingon/Vulcan hybrid. They would have logical rage.

'Tuvix' is the most heart-wrenching story of a hybrid species in Trek.

Most people are Klingon hybrids especially when driving on the freeway! 🤯

I only just now realized how much the ancient humanoid woman from TNG resembles the female changeling from DS9 and sure enough, they're played by the same actress. Fancy that.

They use a DNA translator for this. Just like they all use universal translators to speak English to us.

"We cannot make a human-broccoli hybrid..." But we never give up. We stay until the job is done.

Well Vulcans and Romulans are the same species. Their societies split only about 2,000 years before the 24th century. 2,000 years isn't that long of a time frame for significant evolution to occur.

I feel like a Betazoid/Vulcan would be a very interesting hybrid.

yes, my Vulcan-Andorian-Klingon hybrid is possible.

4:10 Ba'el had the forehead of her mother but also gained the ear shape of her father

In universe: We're all related. In the writers room: I'm out of ideas... can they have a baby and we can make some quick drama?

12:59 That alien "pole dancing" is a great demonstration of intercourse between species in the Star Trek universe. 😂

In the novels a guy call Sonek Pran is a hybrid between human, Vulcan, Betazoid & Bajoran.

The Klingon-Romulan girl DID have an outward sign she was a hybrid, but they were concealed by her hair. Pointed ears. Love your content!

Considering that Major Kira was able to carry Kirayoshi O’Brian to term, it would probably mean that Humans and Bajorans could also breed

There's the "Inside Star Trek" record/CD which contains an interview of Gene Roddenberry with Mark Lenard in character as Sarek. In it, Sarek details the medical procedures involved with Spock's birth. Apparently, the embryo spent some time of the gestation period in a test-tube.

My "Flagship" toon, a 25th century Federation Science toon has a set of antenna, pointed ears and blonde hair. She is a human-Andorian-Vulcan hybrid. But what I really want is *"To play as a Tholian Captain. THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL"*

"Actually the DNA is compatible, with a fair amount of help" - K'Ehleyr, TNG

Romulan-Vulcan isn't really a hybrid as the Romulans are descended from Vulcans during their expansionistic period per TOS.

Comander Shepard: "We'll bang ok" Captain Kirk: We'll bang ok ?" Commander Shepard: "Hold On!" Captain Kirk: "Ah..." Comander Shepard: "I should go"

Excuse me, you left out HEIR TO THE HOLY RINGS OF BETAZED. Have some respect!

In the Enterprise episode with the future crew it is stated that Phlox specifically worked out the issues and made it possible for humans and vulcons to reproduce, of course that timeline doesn't exist anymore... Also in the enterprise episode with the timeship the dead crew member was a hybrid of I believe 8 different alien species, 3 of which identified in the show and overall looked completely human

"Stick to the list." Captain Sinclair B5

0:28 😂🤣😂 NOOOOO!!! I'M DEAD!!! You did not just "... human BROCCOLI hybrid. " and show a picture of Reginald Barclay!!! Ahhhhhahahaha!!!! I understand No one else will think this as funny as me but IDNC. For me, 2020 needs all the genuine chuckles I can muster.

Side note: A Q once approached a human (Captain Janeway) with a proposal to produce a child. Implying such a hybrid was possible.

I'd love to see a meeting of minds between Amanda Rogers (Q raised as Human), Jono (Human raised as Talarian) and Rugal (Cardassian raised by Bajorans), as well as the ones you mentioned here. They'd all have fascinating insights to share!

"I'm not bipolar; I'm half Klingon" -Mama Pink

This one I think was only in the DS9 books. Leeta (Bajoran) and Rom (Fereengi) had a child. Altough Leeta had a lot of complications.

now I can't stop thinking about a human-Tholian hybird

Minor point: Nikolai was Worf's *adoptive* brother, not his foster brother.

There was a Half-Caitian cadet in Starfleet as brought up by Lt. Evan Connolly in Discovery's episode, Brother. Alas, we never found out what the half-caitian was like, since he got splattered by an asteroid right after mentioning it.

Some other examples of Hybrids include: Neelix, who actually is a hybrid (7/8th Talaxian and 1/8th Mylean) Apollo, who was half Human and half Olympian Kal Dano, who has Human, Vulcan, Rigelian, Terrellian, and Lukari ancestry And Half-Caitians, which are seen in Star Trek Into Darkness and mention in Star Trek Discovery.

Great video. Thank you for all you do, Rick!

9:00 AFAIR the father of this child was actually Chakotay. So a human-cardassian hybrid.

they have the strongest thing in the universe, no not love but plot amore

AAAAH So Naomi Wildman aged quicker , so thats why she seemed to go from 1 - 8 years old in three years, i just assumed they aged her quicker incase they didnt get more seasons lol

The chalice joke made me crack up, loved it, keep being fun while factual rick i love watching

Andorian/Aenar hybrids would be no different than, say, an African/Scandinavian mix here in reality

I would love to see a video about the racism or lack thereof with mixed characters. For example how Starfleet usually calls mixed characters by their "alien" race instead of as a hybrid. Or internalized racism for example B'Elana's disdain for her Klingon heritage.

Imagine Kingon Romulan hybrid. ....ohh wait

New Certifiably Ingame video during lunch AND one of my favorite fascinations in the series? I must be dreaming

I always though Ba'el was so beautiful! One of my fave hybrids from Star Trek 💖

Vulcans are actually very emotional but they suppress most of it, or they would be similar to a bipolar human with very steep swop of emotions

In the book Star Trek Enterprise The First Adventure their is a blond haired, blue eyed vulcan that embraces emotions and performs circus acts. It’s probably just rare that vulcans have blond hair.

In Star Trek: ENT episode called "Terra Nova", the hybrid baby Elizabeth was created and depending upon the outcome whether a 5th season of Enterprise was green lit or not, it would determine if Elizabeth would live or die. Sadly, as the 5th season was cancelled officially, it meant that Elizabeth had to die.

I did wonder how Naomi went from being born to a young child in such a short amount of time. Also very well researched video and a topic I enjoy thinking about.

1:00 Because, science.

You should of named this video The big "bang" Theory.

Had a mental list going and you hit all of them. Surprised we never saw any Ferengi/Whatever hybrids since the Ferengi (at least the males) seemed dedicated to getting busy with any female of any species that came within sensor range. Also imagine a Klingon/Vulcan hybrid. Scary.

This is so entertaining. I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a Trek video on this ...topic!

Hey, that second human Cardassian hybrid wasn't Dukat's, it was a gift from the Pah - Wraiths! Get your facts straight Rick!

"a viable contraception" - I don't think this means what you think it means

The Romulan/Vulcan ear trait is always dominant, Worf found out that she was "Romulan" when he "Romantically" moved her hair back and saw her ears

I was just thinking about this idea the other day! Thanks for the recommendation KZfaq :D

There’s probably some way - when we meet aliens - that we can exchange genetic material. Physical templates, obviously means what do you look like between the two or three species, and the mental. A bonding process that decides which side becomes more or less dominant for compatibility reasons but blends them when they can. Obviously a very sophisticated idea, I’m not an authority on the subject so don’t take me as gospel, but I do think hybridisation is possible even for seemingly incompatible species. I see it as simply a process of what can combine, what becomes dominant, what becomes recessive and what is lost and what’s needed to be replaced and what needs to be added to maintain cohesion for the healthiest outcome.

I think it makes sense to think of Romulans and Vulcans as the same species with different cultures, given their history. The mental abilities are likely due to training and could be learned by Romulans if they took the time.

I think the whole point of the line about the Romulan hospital on Durna was that they WERE the same species and could have cared for wounded Vulcans. They just didn't want to for security/expansion reasons.

Thanks for doing my choice of video topics :)

Best channel on You tube ,shame I don't play S T online ,but still

Jem'Hadar and Klingon, do it star trek you coward! make a race that is 90 percent forehead and 100 percent badass.

"A human can act as a temporary host for a trill symbiont" Adira Tal has entered the chat

Not even subscribed but i watch dude so much it still pops up when he uploads.

Honestly? Life Finds a Way was far less sappy than 'love conquers all', since, ya know, Earth has had a few major extinctions (and more than a few minor ones), yet it's still infested filthy organic matter, some examples of which are rumored to exhibit inelegance, but has yet to be proven by outside observation. As for the whole Human/Klingon thing, well, there was that Augment virus incident, so the lingering affects of that probably play a part.

14:47 that dude's human, he was adopted by the species who found him. Not a hybrid and shouldn't be counted.

When half of the galaxy looks fairly similar, it makes sense that so many hybrids exist. Pointy ears and forehead ridges are minor enough differences that most humans wouldn't be turned away by it

Everybody gangsta until they reveal the klingon-bolian crewmember in the next series

I'd love to see a klingon Ferengi hybrid or a Vulcan Bajoran.

Actually there might be a small hint of medical manipulation to the birth of nayomi wildman. Her mom said there been trying for years and that it was difficult for them to get pregnant

Sacred chalice of Rick's caught me off guard 😂 Hilarious hahahaha

Hey Rick, on this subject (or related to it), I forgot how Human augment DNA got incorporated into the Klingon genome, thus explaining why in TOS Klingons look more like humans. Beleive it or not I've got a MS in molecular biology (which I've only used breifly for employment purposes (2001-2005)).

I believe Tom and B’Elanna were expecting some difficulty in conceiving, so it was a bit of a surprise to them how quickly she became pregnant with out any help.

My theory is that in cases of species that aren't close enough to interbreed without medical intervention, the father's traits are usually dominant, and as a result the hybrids can interbreed with their fathers' species. This is because the maternal DNA is altered enough to be compatible with the father's. Supporting evidence: - Bashir said that Jadzia was responding well to treatments that would allow her to conceive with Worf. Seems logical, easier to tinker with one egg a month than a few billion spermatozoae per load. - K'Ehleyr vs. B'Elana. The former looked far more Klingon than the latter and conceived with Worf without medical intervention. The latter had less pronounced Klingon traits and conceived with Paris. - Spock vs. Lorien. Lorien looked and behaved far more human than Spock (and likely had red blood). Spock was expected to marry a Vulcan and presumably father children. Of course some species are apparently compatible through some genetic fluke, despite their massive differences in biology. Klingons and Romulans, for example. Also, Cardassians and Bajorans - it's possible that they had a similar variety of the precursor seed gene thanks to their planets' relative proximity. Others (e.g. humans and Betazoids) are just close enough that hybridization is fairly easy. But in most of the medically engineered hybrids the father's traits are stronger.

Terrific video! 🖖🏻

If I remember from the books, there was a half-vulcan who was more human than vulcan as well.

Plot Twist: All Star Trek species are Asari

I'd like to see a Klingon-Vulcan hybrid.

Always fascinated by the hybrids. Your list here was quite comprehensive. Worth noting that when Jadzia Dax and Worf wete planning to have a child she needed some sort of medical intervention. Also with Zyal she said she preferred the hotter temperatures flavoured by Carpathians. I always thought this meant her physiology was more toward that side of her parentage

I once played a half-vulcan-half-andoran character in a Star Trek roleplaying game campaign. She had an even mix of vulcan and andoran traits. Blue skin and antenna from her andoran parent. Pointed ears and telepathic abilities from her vulcan parent. She grew up on the vulcan homeworld an orphan. The campaign never went anywhere as we were just in star fleet academy, but the character was fun to play.

What about that ugly hybrid guy from the future who appeared on Enterprise? Daniels? He was from a dozen different species, as I recall.

Sample size is too small to come to any conclusion. I know a family where the kids are a mix of Scottish, Turkish and Japanese ethnicity, and they got one kid who looks Japanese and has a Scottish temper, one kid who looks Arab (?) and is the chillest kid I’ve even met and an absolute bonkers ginger kid with green eyes who could pass for a slightly tanned Scot. And they’re German, just to add an extra nationality into the confusion.

Ba'el did have physical features that gave away her lineage. When Worf tucked her hair behind her ear he saw them and said "You're half Romulan?"

Romulans and Vulcans are an example of divergent evolution, they both came from the same predecessor species, but when the Vulcans chose to supress their emotions to curb their violent impulses the Romulans didn't.

Growing up a trekkie, I remember my mom calling Naomi the Dinosaur child. 😂 Now, for some reason, I either can't remember Naomi's name or I have mixed it up with her moms. I have one brain cell. I like to rub it against the carpet and see what happens.😅

The real question: is there catgirls in Star Trek ?

I don't remember the episode but there was a comment by a doctor or scientist that sometimes medical intervention is needed to increase success rate of conceiving and/or carrying a hybrid child.. So it is not without its issues which with common ancestors in some cases, precursor base DNA and a little help from medical technology it is somewhat plausible.

Not exactly a hybrid, but in DS9 Kira was able to act a surrogate mother for Keiko & Obrian's child, although her Bajoran physiology meant the baby could not be transferred back and had to be carried to term.

My guess is that it might not be a hybrid species at all, but instead a sort of "emulation" of incoming genetic material using whatever craziness the Progenitors/Seeders used to amplify the likelyhood of a humanoid form. The way they may have seeded the humanoid form might not even be genetic in nature but instead a "reality hack" that encourages mutations towards a certain type of form and anatomy regardless of surroundings.

I want to make a hybrid species with Human and Tholian.

Hi, Ric THANKS for a great piece on what make Star Trek so great I love the fact that we see so many races and aliens in this universe of Star Trek. There is no mate for Species 8472 SO SAD, Ha maybe Tholian they are very alien. You did a interest and very complete look into the topic, you are wonderful as a researcher.

Weird timing! I'm currently reading the Star Trek: New Frontier novel where the Vulcan Dr. Selar and the Intersex Hermat Burgoyne have had a mixed baby and are starting to notice the Hermat traits creeping into its seemingly dominantly-Vulcan physiology. Thanks for the supplementary material!

Love B'elana, she's half Klingon, half Latina, she's like "Viva la Raza P'atagh!"

Binary Cloning, the only two species we know can naturally procreate, outside of the obvious Vulcans and Romulans, are Bajorans and Cardassians, and according to some theories they share a common ancestor.

I remember in one voyager episode its hinted that theres some iffy-ness with interspecies mingled when the crew employed the help of this ship dwelling species and harry kim and one of the people on the ship broke the ships species rules and got together. The doctor mentioned like bio screening and testing to make sure their compatible or that they wont get a disease.

There was a book called "The Vuclan's Glory" wherein a quater vulcan crewman was abord The Enterprise. The titular Glory is a large gem, which was stolen by the crewman. He took advantage of the fact that his Vulcan heritage was unknown to starfleet and the lack of visible phenotypes to frame Spock for the theft.
