I don't see why genetic differentation/evolution is inherently necessary to explain the Reman's differences from Romulans/Vulcans. We do not know how mutable their physiology can be in a few generations of extreme conditions. We're talking about lack of light, exposure to radiation/industrial waste, who knows what kind of diet, and maybe non-standard gravity. All these things put together could lead to significant changes in short order in many species from earth. No genetic changes needed. Also, significant physical differences in some species are limited to developmental changes in a handful of genes; the differences between wolves and domestic dogs... all those variations... appear to be based on developmental timing genes in one small area. Those changes from wolf to dog would have only occured within a generation or two to create different colors and behavior. --[[User:69.11.173.34|69.11.173.34]] 02:58, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Revision as of 02:59, 31 October 2006

the Remans evolved from Romulan colonists on its dark side; hence they cannot withstand light very well. When the Romulans arrived in the Romulan system and colonized Romulus, they subjugated the Reman settlers,

What's the evidence that the Remans are actually Romulan settlers? They've got pointy-ish ears, but that's about it as far as I can tell. Admittedly, there's not any direct evidence that they're natives, either, which is why I tried to keep it vague in its original form.

And does chaning something that much (from original species to Romulan colonists) really count as a minor edit? Steve 00:10, 5 Jun 2004 (CEST)

you're right. i've corrected that... --BlueMars 00:20, Jun 5, 2004 (CEST)
  • I can't imagen any evolution process getting Remans from Romulans in the time given, Romulans left Vulcan sometime around the 300's. These guys are going to have to turn out to be natives or somekind of genetic experiment. Signed, Tyrant
    • I'm taking Due to their pointed ears and the prominent ridges on their foreheads, we may assume that Remans are in fact an offshoot of the Romulans and not a race indigineous to Remus. out of this article, as it is a leading argument. Tyrant 13:20, 12 Feb 2005 (GMT)Tyrant


Remus=Romii?

where's the evidance for that?! --BlueMars 19:51, Jun 6, 2004 (CEST)

See the Talk:Romii page. :)

My take on all this

  • If I had to guess, I'd say it's more of a botany bay kind of thing, Romulans needed dilithium, so they sent their political prisoners, dessenters, whatevers, to Remus, to mine it for them

...long story short, the vulcans/romulans/remans lose the need for the gene expression of their skin pigmentation, and hair, and apparently develop nice big heads -- me 01:07, May 12, 2006 (EST)

The Argument Is Over....

to those people who say they look nothing like vulcanoids, vulcans, or romulans, i say..look at this picture [1] then this one... [2] if anything they look like old vulcans or romulans, so maybe they just live in such poor conditions that they look like 300+ year old vulcans -- me 01:07, May 12, 2006 (EST)

Remans + Vulcans = Romulans

My Theory is that the Remans and Vulcans mated thus creating the Romulan Race. Remans in my view are the Native Race of Romulus and Remus. but since Vulcans and Remans created the Romulans and Vulcans disappeared. The Romulans got the upper hand and sent there own Creators to Remus and exposed them to forever darkness making the Remans somewhat allergic to Light. --PeterAKer August 29, 2005

Thats My Take!


I really don't see any Vulcans, even the old war-like ones, being too eager to mate with Remans. --TheCurse Feb. 18, 2006

If Klingon's can find Antedeans good looking, anything is possible.
