Could Humans and Chiss...????

Just wondering what species could interbreed to produce littlies??? Could...ummm...say Humans and Chiss? Twi'leks and humans?

It is the basis for an emerging Fanfic and I kinda need to know if bubs between certain races of SW sentients are possible. Thanks

Sorry if this has been asked a million times

 

I'd say while with medical help some species could interbreed the vast majority would be infertile.

I know there is a reference to interspecies mating in Wedge's gamble but basically the genetics are probably going to make almost every relationship incompatible.

 

The question is...

Could they produce young and if so, could they produce fertile young.

donkeys and horses, while of a different species, CAN reproduce though the outcome is a mule- an infertile hybrid of the two.

This is the case for most animals of different species who are still genetically similar enough that they can produce an offspring- its usually infertile.

I would say yes. All that apparently differs is skin and eye pigment. They are just a few genes in the whole genetic makeup of the organisms, and while I doubt the differences actually stop there, I imagine that they wouldn't be so different as to not be able to AT LEAST produce an infertile hybrid offspring.


When I first saw Zekka Thyne I thought he might be, but apparently he's not.

 

Donkeys and horses are part of the same Family as far as genetics goes, the difference between alien species in GFFA would, to me it seems, be much much more distinct.

 

Shug from Dark Empire and the Han Solo trilogy is a half alien half human.

 

Well Chiss are descended from humans so Chiss and humans could probably interbreed and produce offspring. Whether these offspring are fertile or infertile I don't know.

 

Chiss and base-line humans are part of the same genus(homo) of family Hominidae(humans). Not the same species of humans but still within the same genus.

On the other hand Chiss evolved into a new species of human from base-line human species, so therefore are a sub-species under the species of base-line human. A next evolution so to speak.

 

reference in the x-wing series was that in isard's revenge. Gavin darklighter and Asyr (don't know last name) wanted to adopt because the genetics between bothans and humans were to different to produce offspring.

 

Corellians and Nagai were able to mate and produce offspring.

 

There is solid evidence that the chiss are basline humans but not for a FACT. Gamer 5 and AA both say thats what scholors belive.

 

They would actually be a subspecies of base-line humans. Something above the stage of base-line humans, and beyond whatever the stage of standard humans are in the gffa.

Infact on earth we are already a subspecies beyond base-line humans. "Genus: Homo, Species: Sapiens, Sub-species: Sapiens, read Homo Sapiens Sapiens(Literally translates out to something like, "The Wisest Man").

Sapiens translates into wise. Homo translates into man.

What makes a hominid(translates into human), a hominid(human), is that they have culture, bigger more developed brain(than early hominoid ancestors), and bipedal locomotion, stone tools, among other things...

Near-human, Proto-human are terms used by scientists to designate the creatures that are close to being human but haven't quite made the final leap to the above features(mainly the specialized bipedal knee joints).

Hominoid, is the super-family that all apes and humans, and early near-humans(proto-humans) fall under.

 

Trinomial nomenclature allows for parallel sub-species clasifications (i.e. "southern" variety vs. "northern" variety if required), not subspecies who evolved in sequence, IIRC.

 

Sapiens is the present active participal of sapio, "I know," and translates most correctly to "knowing," although "wise" is an acceptable translation.

Home sapiens sapiens does not translate correctly to "wisest man," but to "wise wise man"; in Latin, an adjective of the positive degree is made superlative by modification to a different form, not by redundancy.

 

III_Vir...
"Home sapiens sapiens does not translate correctly to 'wisest man...'"

Your concept is correct, but the details are less so. I think Home sapiens sapiens is probably more like "wise wise shelter." And with slight modification, urban translations of Homé sapiens sapiens tends to come up with "wise wise gang banger."

 

well you can breed different types of dogs together and theyr'e not infertile eg. Labrador with a Blue healer.

 

We know that humans and Twi'leks cant have children from the Xwing series. The same goes for humans and Bothans...are humans the least prolific of all species??

 

I know this is going to turn into a genetics or biology class but that poses an interesting question. I don't really know much about species etc because I have just began Year 11 Bio but would I be correct in assuming that Chiss and humans could produce babes? Are there any other differences other than eye colour and skin pigment or are the genetics completely different.

Dogs of different breeds can reproduce fertile young so why couldn't different species of humans? ?

If that concept is completely wrong could someone explain it in lamens terms. Like really simple!

 

All dogs are of the same species but have a variety of racial variation(breeds).

Wolfs and dogs can mate but are seperate species, but produce fertile offspring.

Horses and Donkeys can mate and produce a mule which is unfertile.

Though all races of the same human species can produce fertile offspring because they are genetically the same. Similer to dogs having many variations in breeds.

As for our human species mating with another human species, outcome is unknown since skeleton remains don't give much of information of that sort. Anthropoligists can merely speculate on what could happen. The question on if it at all compatible, if it will come out infertile or fertile is unknown.

 

Makes you wonder what a human and a chiss child would look like.

They would proablely still have blue skin since it would be more dominant to ours. Hair black I'm sure. The eyes get me though. Any speculation on the eyes anyone?

 

Well the question comes down to is the blue skin really more dominant than ours? Do we know that? Considering we have no evidence to prove or disprove it we really can't say, and can only speculate.

We do know that the blue skin is from an ore found on chiss homeworld of csilla though. The ore because of a reaction gets bluer depending on the exposer to amount of oxygen in an atmosphere. According to gamer, and alien anthology, and guide to aliens. It apparenly serves no benifits though.

 

Lowercase on the species and sub-species Valiento. Genus begins with caps and species and sub-species with lowercase.

 

Thanks Valiento for explaining it to me. Very confusing.

And thanks everyone for their contribution. It's got my creative mind working overtime on how a Chiss/human kid would look. Adorable I think

 

Sudden thought here (probably occured to others on the forum) Could the Blacksun Lieutenant Corran called Patches be a Human-Chiss offspring? If memory serves, he got the nickname Patches because he had patches of blue skin.

 

Breeds in dogs aren't racial. Dogs are in different "families" and groups. The only common thing dogs have is the same insides and behaviour. Huge dogs like a Great dane could mate with a small dog and produce fertile young( very PAINFULLY though).

 

Magneto,
They were talking about the Linnaean Taxonomic System the traditional heirarchal taxonomic classification system named after Carl Linne, a Swedish Botonist used to classify living things.

Your use of the term "'families'" (in quotes) is not the traditional Linnaean taxonomic use which does have a defined meaning and is not quoted. The term "groups" is not even part of this taxonomic classification system, comprised of (and greatly expanded since Linnae's original system)...
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
(sub-species)

In the case of human beings, the entire taxonomic classification would be:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Mammalia
Subclass: Theria
Infraclass: Eutheria
Order: Primates
Suborder: Anthropoidea
Superfamily: Hominoidea
Family: Hominidae
Genus: Homo
Species: sapiens
Sub-species: sapiens

However, this can be abbreviated as: Homo sapiens sapiens.

The question then is Chiss a sub-species of sapiens species, or an infra-species. My feeling is it's an infra-species, as I believe it is not parallel to Homo sapiens sapiens.
