This episode really took some creative license with current evolutionary dogma. For instance, Barclay was seen to have regressed into spider-like organism. Spiders and humans shared a common ancestory but were evolutionarily divergent enough such that insect "introns" as they say would not be present in the human genome and vice versa. -- Frenkmelk 16:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
So Troi is no longer human, how is this incorrect? Alastairward 12:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
I merged most of the trivia into the main article. I deleted the part about Barclay-Spider because it was explained, albeit in a very confusing manner.
And since some people seem to be confused, Troi is half-human and half-alien. Lots42 03:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Just as a general response to all of the above: It doesn't matter who is what species before the de-evolution. No, humans don't share an ancestor with spiders (or marmosets, or frogs, or whatever) lately enough to carry and recognizable introns. However, as shwon by the fact that each person, regardless of being the same species, regressed to efefctively random forms, I'd say it was some generic thing that just changed people into animalistic forms. There's no reason to look for genetic history or accuracy. -- 12.21.161.34 ( talk) 16:45, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Is the title of the episode really referencing the bible. Genesis is also a scientific term. The footnote and it's link do not actually confirm the text. 86.135.17.92 ( talk) 04:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
