In The Next Generation (I believe after Gene died), the story was written that all aliens in the TNG Milky Way were the product of an ancestor race that spread its DNA around the galaxy. As a result, all humanoids were two legged like us...which also meant that all the races weren't so different afterall. The Romulans didn't like this very much. The Klingons said it made them look weak. The humans, of course, are the only ones to get something out of the discovery. We're all the same.
