I really liked the DS9 group they went back in time and they used old ST footage. When the Kinglons all had a much more human look they asked Warf about it. He said, "We don't talk about that."

Indeed.


There was a two part episode of ST:Enterprise that dove right into it and "explained" (ie, Retcon!) the human-looking Klingons. Was a disease.

evolution is only effective where natural selection is in play. Short of breeding based advantages, or self determined type changes, I don't think humans will evolve any further.

I also loved that episode though. Although I thought most TNG was pretty good.

Come back to this thread only if you've read up on what evolution and natural selection is. Until then, for your own good, stay very far away.

Modern medicine is doing a heck of job of thwarting national selection. People who would have normally been removed from the gene pool for a variety of reasons (disability, handicap, etc) are now living into adulthood.

This is a great thing for the people involved, but you could argue that is not good for the species genetically.
