@funkless_eck @medusa TNG Season 6 Episode 20 “The Chase” suggests that a number of species had a common ancestor and that their dna had fragments of code that when brought together activated a holo program explaining this. Several TOS episodes suggest that ancient aliens “seeded” life on many planets.
We did an episode with Trek science consultant Mohamed Noor and talked about this!
