The Vorlon from Babylon 5

Ferengi since I can see you know your StarTrek lore but I would also like to see the Asgard from Stargate if possible. I like your videos, your not just regurgitating source material and the fact you dug into humans own evolution was informative in itself. SUBSCRIBED.

@@JaredLS10 Thank you Jared! I really try my best.

Gorn. Centauri (B5). Here's a hard one...Kelvins, from Battle Beyond the Stars. How does a race evolve to communicate via temperature variation? White Walkers.

How about THOLIANS !?

It kind of is. It's there naturally, but they enhance it with makeup (Garak did that once.) Kinda like how humans usually have dark eyelashes but we still darken them with mascara.

Pretty sure you're right. Ziyal usually didn't wear forehead makeup, so there was no blue.

The blue is makeup. They also sometimes put blue makeup on 1 or 2 of the segments of their neck ridges.

@@doctorteethomega I also thought it was makeup. Though the example of Ziyal is complicated by her 1/2 Bajoran heritage...

@@legendswarble2845 garak isnt a cardassian female

that seems to make sense seeing that they like warm temperature

I never though of that!

Now i see where they got their photographic memory from ;)

Pangolins are no longer considered a part of Xenarthra.

@@brandonmarthers Thanks, I was unaware of these. Maybe Cardassians are highly derives Pholidota

does that mean that Cardasians are Bajorans that had relations with Gorn is that how they came into being it makes you wonder?🤔

@@raven4k998 funny you say that i think it mentioned in one episode cardies and bajorans are related with common ancestors. I know I need get a girl friend

@@jamesbizs I got my (used) copy for 2,50E on amazon...guess I got lucky?

Those might be intersex or transgender

@@burlbird9786 I think in this case it has to do with how much makeup they had on, regardless of any of that. I think you see the *same* characters with and without that even.

How do you know that's make up and not some sort of variation in the species? Like Romulan forehead ridges.

@@charleschamp9826 the same women are seen with more or less blue depending on whether they are in formal or more infomal attire

@@burlbird9786 or much more likely it is the Cardassian vesion of lipstick ... if you look at the cultural values of the Cardassians during the episodes of DSN then it is clear that intersex and transgender people would most likely be a persecurted underclass.

Possibly Cardasian DNA is more adaptable (wrong word, but you get my point) to inter species union.

Scratch my last comment, I was the one who misunderstood.

Seska's child was a _human_ cardi hybrid. (and likely needed medical technology to pull off.) She only _said_ it was the Maj's baby.

@@discobolos4227 Paris and tores needed the doctor's help to have their child. (Voyager)

@@jfbeam It wasn’t as the Dr confirmed the child’s DNA much to Seska’s disappointment.

I was thinking the same thing

Luke Skywalker blooded?

Like my ex-girlfriend.

Ah dinosaur are cold blooded even the gorn is cold blooded?

"I am your father!"

But you have heard of life forms that literally have less in common than bacteria and humans reproducing? Because extraterrestrials would be less related to us than a strep throat culture regardless of what they look like.

@@patrickmccurry1563 look up the ST:TNG episode "The Chase" (season 6 episode 20) in that episode it is revealed that the humanoid Star Trek races, Humans, Vulcans, aromulans, Cardassians and Klingons et al are all related being the results of genetic engineering by a race of Progenitors many billions of years previously.

@@patrickmccurry1563 the star Trek universe human template DNA & other hominids is sprinkled on any planet that could evolve life to make people that are homonoids like a dying homid species in the past This is cannon star Trek lore, even a plot of a episode So the DNA of multiple homonoids species when combined made a message In their 'junk' DNA You know it's empty space might as well use it for storage anyways So they made a playable message for that level of tech species It was like a "go & be a family" & the klingons weren't down with that

@@KTo288 They seeded DNA _fragments_ across many worlds. On Earth, lizards and humans are made of the same DNA. Just in different configurations. While it's totally implausible for a cardassian and a bajoran to have a child without any external assistance, they're aliens, so who's to say. (paris and tores needed the doctor's help to have their child.) Cardassians like it hot because their planet is hot. Likewise, Vulcans. (and the Tholians for that matter, but Enterprise showed them as very insect like. TOS only ever showed their ships.)

Normally it should without gen therapy impossible for ANY alien race to have offspring with another species. We humans are not even able to have offspring with other apes and they share 98% the same genes. And even with the preservers manipulation of the alpha quadrant species much of their genoms would be too different to even have an egg successful fertilized by a sperm cell. By the way, we humans still share 80% of the same genom with any animal that evolved out of fishes. Why? Because most of the genome has nothing to do with us being human, but is simple code to make proteins, cell structures etc - that code is billion years old and the reason why bacteria and virae even can interact with our cells - because the basic language they speak (in proteins) is the same.

It is mentioned several times I believe in enterprise and voyager I mentioned that human and klingon half breeds are possible but medical intervention is required to prevent any unforseen circumstances.

I always assumed the events of ‘the chase’ was trying to explain why the different sophont species looked alike/could interbreed. It doesn’t quite make sense, but it serves as an attempt.

Technically, there are a few reptile species that can, to an extent, generate some heat in their bodies; including Alligators. This doesn't stop them from being reptiles. But let's be honest, the categories of mammal and reptile are somewhat artificial from an evolutionary point of view. From the point of view of evolution.... mammals "are" reptiles...that took on some specialized features that allowed them to survive the Cretaceous extinction event and thereafter those traits became exaggerated as they diversified and took over ecosystems abandoned by the dinosaurs.

@@laertesindeed Name one species. Alligators absolutely can not regulate their own body heat. Like all reptiles they are reliant on external factors to regulate their body temperature. All reptiles are incapable of generating their own body heat. No mammals are reptiles, your comparison would mean that we are all inanimate rocks because at one point life didn’t exist.

@The Adjudicator you get that by definition a reptile is cold blooded. So yes it is that clear cut. Or if you really want to stick to that argument than my statement that we all evolved from rocks is 100% true, and it would seem some of us are still a little more rock than others. Trying to justify a stupid statement just makes you look stupid. Kids this is why you should stay in school, and not rely on KZfaq to be accurate.

@The Adjudicator I could take the time to explain elementary level science to you, but you don’t seem to have the capacity. So why waste my time. But I do agree it is funny how people who have no idea what they are talking about fall back on insults like calling someone a dumb dumb rather than presenting any real argument to support their statements. PS. Birds aren’t reptiles because reptiles are all cold blooded. Birds on the other hand are all warm blooded. So I guess I can take a second of time to explain some elementary level biology to you. The only real question is are you capable of learning the information.

@The Adjudicator no birds are not reptiles. They may have a common ancestor but by definition they are not. Even looking at the similarities still shared by these two unique species it would be more accurate to start that some reptiles are closer to birds than they are to other reptiles. All that being said no reptiles are warm blooded. No birds are cold blooded. The common ancestor of mammals and reptiles was something more like an amphibian. So the only conclusion anyone with any brains can make is you’re wrong. The only real question is are you wrong because you are ignorant, or are you wrong because your stupid?

Are you sure mammals are descended from reptiles? I thought there was some uncertainty as to whether mammals and reptiles branched off from amphibians.

The Masked Enema, technically you're incorrect. Didn't you watch the star trek shows from the 80s, 90s and 2000s? "Mammalian" is a term used to describe humanoids from EVERY planet, not just earth. Especially in Enterprise. The Xindi had 6 different types of them, all sentient, all originating from the same planet. The ones that looked most like humans were called the primate xindi, or mammalian xindi. And then there was the reptilian xindi. And the arboreal xindi (arboreal means they live in trees, they're primarily monkeys; humans aren't monkeys, we're apes, but both monkeys and apes are types of primates, the main difference between the two is that apes tend to be much bigger a live a lot longer and don't have tails like monkeys do). And there's the insectoid Xindi, which is self explanatory. And the aquatic Xindi who are like whales (such as dolphins, who are a type of whale). And the last one is the avian xindi, who don't appear in any star trek show because they're already long extinct by the time of enterprise. Mammalian and reptilian are words used for every race in star trek, not just humans from earth. We hear the words in english because of the universal translator, but the aliens are obviously saying the equivalent words from their own languages, just translated into english. But every star trek show has made references to these kinds of terms. For example in Voyager, the episode where the crew come across a species of highly evolved sentient dinosaurs, called the Voth, who as it turns out actually also came from Earth too but had left millions of years ago and ended up far away in the delta quadrant, but the Voth and humans both evolved natively on earth. They called themselves Saurian creatures, which is another human english word like mammalian, that means a lizard-like creature, usually meaning a dinosaur (dinoSAUR hence SAURian), although these days the word is used much less, because scientists found out that birds are all literally dinosaurs, not just DESCENDED from dinosaurs, all birds are ACTUALLY dinosaurs. So do we call birds saurian, or do we call dinosaurs avian? But either way the Voth were highly offended to be related to mammalian creatures. They constantly use the word "mammalian" throughout that episode of Voyager, go watch it now, because you don't seem to be aware of any of what I'm talking about, it's season 3 episode 23, called "Distant Origin".

Technically correct - except in the Star Trek universe, most life was likely seeded by the same ancient culture. In which case, just as humanoids a pre-programmed to evolve, maybe so too are reptiles and mammals. Such a question would be stupid if applied to real-life aliens, but in Star Trek it makes sense... Well, more sense than travelling so fast you create lizard babies with Janeway, at least.

@@duffman18 Were those taxanomic classifications, or simply descriptive names? Aliens and monsters are that resemble reptiles are called 'reptilian' without necessarily being actual reptiles.

Or Bajorans are also mammal-like reptiles.

@The Adjudicator Phylogenetically, Cardassians would be neither mammals nor reptiles. At the most their nearest equivalent to that in their alien ecosystem.

This is Star Trek. Remember B’elanna Torres from Voyager? She was part human and part Klingon. Now think back to TNG episode where the crew de-evolved. Worf turned into a lumbering armored creature more like an angry crab than anything else. But humans mated successfully with Klingons. Star Trek doesn’t really care about genetic compatibility. Lol.

@The Adjudicator I like this, do we have sources for this awesome info?

@@alienlife7754 That episode also showed that a pure human somehow had significant "dormant DNA" from spiders. Real world science was very much never a concern for the franchise.

LOL!

Lol! Actually it is said the Cardassians were named after the Kardashians dad who was a lawyer. One of the writers did not like him. Peace.

I don't think you know the definition of the word species..... and having children means nothing. Humans and Klingons can have children. Romulans and Klingons can have children. Betazoids and Humans can have children. None of these are the same "species".

@@laertesindeed A Chimpanzee and a human cannot have children even though we share 99% of our DNA and primates. However, homo saipan and Neanderthals could have children. That's because we are both hominids of the genus Homo. Watch Star Trek again. Humans/Vulcans required medical intervention. Klingon/humans required medical intervention. And since humans and Vulcans can't have children naturally it stands to reason that their Romulan cousins could not either.

@@JessRenee91481 Thus proving you don't know what a species is...... nor do you even know Star Trek lore. Vulcans and Humans had children just fine...you are confusing a superstition and bigotry by early Vulcan and Human interactions where bigoted Vulcans pretended that it wouldn't be possible because they didn't culturally want it to be possible. Klingons and Romulans had children together just fine. So did Humans and Klingons. Humans have more DNA in common with chimpanzees than they do a Klingon.....fuck, humans have more DNA in common with corn than they do with Klingons. That didn't stop them from having children. Humans and Klingons are not the same species. Romulans and Vulcans are not the same species. Romulans and Klingons are not the same species. Betazoids and Humans are not the same species. You're inventing this fake magical non-sequitur logical fallacy to make statements of certainty which you have no justification for in Star Trek.

@@laertesindeed spe·cies /ˈspēsēz,ˈspēSHēz/ 1. BIOLOGY a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. The species is the principal natural taxonomic unit, ranking below a genus and denoted by a Latin binomial, e.g. Homo sapiens. Troi: "I didn't know it was possible for a human and a Klingon to produce a child." K'ehlar: Actually the DNA is compatible, with a fair amount of help." T'pol: "That's impossible. Humans and Vulcans have never been able to reproduce." Phlox: "According to Lorian I discovered or rather, I will discover a method of successfully combining Human and Vulcan genomes." From Phlox and K'ehlar they both suggested that external medical assistance is required. Even the Half-Klingon B'elanna needed the Doctor's help with her and Tom's baby. For the rest, there just isn't sufficient on screen evidence. It's not impossible that all of your examples happened naturally, but it's also entirely plausible that it required medical intervention for those offspring to occur... Except for Cardassians and Bajorans. The only two races to be known for sure to be able to reproduce naturally. Gul Dukat wouldn't have used medical means to empregnate Zial's mother, and there was surprise when that Pah Wraith follower of his had his child. Cardassians and Bajorans are less like Canis familiaris (dog) and canis lupus (wolf) and more like Great Dane and Chihuahua

@@JessRenee91481 Thus you prove you don't know the star trek lore, nor the meaning of species.... because you used both wrong. You also skipped over the entirety of the franchise with everybody interbreeding prior to DS9..... and you took a non-canon fiction book as your desired head-canon about Cardassians and Bajorans which was never established in any show or movie.... ever.

The only evidence we have of problems between known cross breeding is that Enterprise episode. But that's just one incidence of a genetic incompatibility, Such things cause infant deaths now between humans, so it's not really evidence that genetic alteration is required for everyone, IMO.

The different humanoid species can't mate with each other naturally. In Enterprise we discover this, as Dr Phlox has to put in months of work to discover a medication that would let humans and vulcans interbreed. It wouldn't happen naturally, no matter how often they had sex. By the time of TOS and the TNG/DS9/VOY era, it's been normalised to the point where they don't even talk about it, they know the doctor can give them the medication so that they can have children with each other, which is how we get mixed-race people like Spock and B'ellana Torres. They don't even talk about it because everyone knows about it, it'd be like buying cough medicine when you have a cough, you don't even need to question it. Though sometimes complications still happen, like when Samantha Wildman gave birth to her mixed-race daughter, Naomi, who was half human half Ktarian. Naomi had sharp spiky horns on her forehead, and Ktarian women have evolved to have strong and resistant uteruses so that this is not a problem, but for human mothers like Samantha, the spikes were digging into the walls of her uterus and causing a tremendous amount of pain, and could have killed her via infection if the doctor EMH didn't work out what was going on and fix it

Ironically enough, the prequel series Walking With Dinosaurs was narrated in North America by Avery Brooks.

Thank you, Emmanuel!

Thank you! I really had fun with this one.

Quite likely an alien evolutionary history will produce clades that are difficult to compare to ones on Earth. Some basic shapes might be similar. For example a planet with a thick enough atmosphere may produce creatures with wings. A planet with oceans might produce creature superficially similar to fish and jelly fish in their general shape and the way they move.

@@flashkraft, true, but those creatures will be neither cnidarians nor teleosts as those classifications imply shared ancestry. Hence Cardassians are neither mammals nor reptiles. They aren't part of any terrestrial clade.

Devil's advocate. Mesotherms are in between "cold" and "warm" blooded. Many reptiles produce eggs that hatch internally, ovoviviparous. Pterosaurs had hair like structures, so even that's not a deal killer.

Everybody can interbreed with everybody else in Star Trek. That isn't any logical sequence.

Ovoviviparous still have eggs; they just don't lay them. And egg laying mammals (monotremes) are extremely rare -- the platypus, and four species of echidna. (the exception to prove the rule.) But yes, neither, as they didn't evolve on Earth. ('tho they have qualities of both.)

@@jfbeam Exceptions don't prove rules like that. An exception such as "no parking on Sunday" proves the rule that you can park on Mondays through Saturdays, by way of omission. If you have a rule like, "I before E except after C", an exception such as "neighbour" actually *disproves* the rule.

Hahaha, I appreciate it man. No sweat. That's certainly the "truest" answer to a lot of these questions. Just wait 'til you hear what I have to say about the "Ancient Humanoids" from The Chase...

@@OrangeRiver I'm just waiting for Kim Kardashian to guest star on Picard as Kim Cardassian. 🤞

@@kennethraymondmoore go to ur room and think about the horrible joke u made. But that first joke. Knocked it out the park. So u can have an ice cream

@@kennethraymondmoore Actually I'm surprised that no one from that show never asked to appear on DS9, or any of the other Star Trek shows. 😁😖😂🤪

I beg to differ. There is nothing to show how we changed. The same old issues we have now, show up in all the ST series. Jealousy, greed, suspicion, fear of unknown. It is all a part of our genetics.

No, Cardassia is Earth in the year 250.000.000 BCE. You know in the Permian times. You seem to forget, that the earth at the moment is because we live in a warm period of an ice age! And as long as we don't get the average temperature of the earth over 20 degree and find a way to defreeze Antarctica (temperature alone is not enough, Antarctica is in ice because it's surrounded by a cold water stream, that evolved because South America and Australia broke away (before that Antarcticas climate was quite humid), so we would have to build a huge dam between South America and Antarctica ;) ) - we will stay in this ice age. We may be able to achieve that we will overjump one cold period - but this ice age will most likely go on for the next 10-15 mio. years, before continental drift will have pushed enough of Antarctica out of the south, so that warm water can reach its shores.

Yep, this was an oversight on my part

We are synapsids.

Everybody can interbreed with everybody else in Star Trek..... none of that defines anybody as the same species.

I'd watch that show.

Armadillos and Pangolins have exoskeletal body armor, yet they are still mammals.
