name TWO (2) examples!

>>86777414
"Near-humans" make up 90% of the Star Wars galaxy. They look human.
But they're not human
You know Mace Windu? Well he's not human. He's a space-African from space-Africa.
The only human on the Jedi Council was Obi Wan.

As for Star Trek, the Klingons think humans are shit, the Vulcans are surprised we didn't kill ourselves off (but they think that of everyone), the Borg interest was just due to Q, and Q was a future evolved human closing a time paradox

>>86777423
Yeah, Earth humans are called the Tau'ri

>>86777538
The near-human over representation likely comes from the single biome planets in star wars. Humans are like the only things that can handle living in a different biomes just fine in retarded star wars logic.

there is no canonical statement saying that the Q are evolved humans. They say that humanity MIGTH get as far as they have, but nothing says they're humans

Science Fiction is perhaps the genre I loathe above all others. The idea that you can take hard scientific fact, and then fictionalise it turning genuine achievement and discovery into mild fantasy fodder is very much distressing. I suggest you read about some real science, works of pioneers and geniuses who have helped us better understand the true reality of the world and not some infantile drivel that is as much a part of science as The Bible.
