While the present day An'oke are substantially different from the historical An'oke (see comparisons of USS LaSalle and Zelasian samples to those recovered by the USS Charlemagne), the modern day An'oke are the descendants of that robust, orange-skinned strain of the same name. | While the present day An'oke are substantially different from the historical An'oke (see comparisons of USS LaSalle and Zelasian samples to those recovered by the USS Charlemagne), the modern day An'oke are the descendants of that robust, orange-skinned strain of the same name. | ||
In the intervening millenia, | In the intervening millenia, some analysts argue that the surviving An'oke strain was further diluted by contact with other humanoid populations. It should be noted, however, that the mammalian monotremes cannot naturally interbreed with the far more numerous placental mammals regardless of structural similarities of humanoid form. Thus, any such dilution would necessarily involve bio-engineered reproduction. | ||
