The Terrans-A 5 sentient species Earth
This thread was inspired by the Enterprise 3rd season premire episode
the Xindi.The crew discovers and we are shown that the new
villians-the Xindi-that attacked Earth are in fact a race made up of 5
sentient species. They are-Insectoid,Aquatic,Reptillian,Mammalian and
Humanoid.The Xinidi have envolved to the point where they coporate but
each species considers itself and its viewpoints the dominant
ones.But what if? What if 5 seperate sentient species
evolved on Earth didnt wipe each other out and came to known as the
Terrans. They evolved from the same types of Earth species with the
Insectoids being the oldest.The Aquatic species from Dolphins.The
Reptillians from a Dinosaur species.The Mammalian species from a form
of Apes.The Humanoid species fairly similar to Homo Sapiens and of
course the new kids on the block.How would Earth history have panned
out with 5 sentient species on the planet?Where would the different
species pre-dominate? Who would meet and interact first? Alliances?
Enemies? Cultures? Intermarriage? Reality Shows? What type of
Terran civilization would the Vulcans visiting Earth in 2063
encounter or would they have chosen to contact Earth years earlier?
Any and all ideas appreciated.
ps it should be noted that per Voyager the Earth in the Star Trek
universe did prodie another sentient species-the Voth.
