            Nowhere else do we have this duality between fictional and real species.  This should be merged with the real human species, which is already co-typed as a character species and has ~600 characters assigned to it.

            Flagging for merge as humans in Star Trek do not differ in any way from real ones, except in their origin story (i.e. genetic material seeded by an alien race, rather than developing purely through evolutionary mechanisms.)

            "In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Chase", Picard's archeology professor Galen, postulates and later proves the existence of a Proto-Humanoid race, which seeded the Milky Way Galaxy's class-M worlds with its genetic code, producing a tendency for sentients to develop into humanoid form, presumably including Humans."

              I'm partially responsible for this topic, so I know it seems like I'm doubling back, but doesn't the existence of a (future, fictional) timeline associated with the human species in Star Trek warrant some separate consideration?

               Fictional *characters* are marked as 'based on' real people (when appropriate); perhaps Humans-in-Star-Trek should be 'based on' Humans-fictional-characters (or Homo sapiens) ?

              All fiction has not-real elements, whether future or past.  If a fictional timeline is the determinant for a different species, then every fictional universe would have to have its own species, thus making it meaningless to ask "which universes have humans".

            Humans in the Anita Blake universe are biologically identical to real humans, but may have special psychic abilities.  This is better represented in the "ability" property on fictional characters, than by having two different "Human" species topics.

            Humans in B5 are the same as in the real world, with the exception that 0.1% of the population have telepathic abilities.  I think this is better captured in the "abilities" property on fictional character, rather than having a separate species topic for it.

            Flagged for merge.  Humans in Stargate have nothing different from Humans in the real world.  The topic no longer exists on Wikipedia, either, and has been redirected to "Mythology of Stargate".

          Need at least one version of the article for the subspecies

            If we do split this article, one version needs to be the version that is properly an Organism Classification for Homo sapiens sapiens as the biological subspecies.
