Known Alien Races of the Galaxy

Humanoids

Humanoids are the most prevalent race in region of the Milky Way Galxy that the players will be traveling in. Are they offshoots of humanity or are they examples of convergent evolution? The best answer anyone could come up with is "Yes".
There is sufficient anthropological evidence on every world that the each Humanoid race evolved on that world. Were they "guided" by the Anshani? Maybe. It must be noted that the oldest primate remains are on the Constopnor homeworld, so it's likely that Earth is not origin of the Humanoid species. All Humanoids are intrafertile, and a can sire children in any of the Humanoid races without much trouble.
The Near Humanoids are all different species, and are more of a form of a convergent evolution. However, within their subgroups, there is just as much variability and evidence of evolutionary manipulation as the Humanoids show.
