<p>
Emai,
<p>as we are at the topic of inter-species sex - what about the Elleniki? As
far as I understood, the similarities between uesti and Terranean humans are
the result of parallel evolution, not of any genetic relationship. So the
Elleniki, although being able to have sex with the uesti, probably have not
been able to interbreed (what a nice word). What happended to them? Did they
dy out? Or are there still communities of Elleniki on Almea (maybe in
Avela)? And if yes, did they take over the language and culture of their
neighbours, or did they preserve some form of Koine Greek? The fact that
they would not be able to have (biological) families outside of their own
communities would speak for the conservation of some special cultural
traits.
<p>Ad onlel�n,
<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>That's a good point. I don't think an ancient trading expedition would
have brought women along, however. That would imply that the community
died out genetically; though since it had high prestige, the Eleniki could
have married Avélans and adopted children. I think it would be
preserved for some centuries, but eventually integrated into Érenati
society.
