Hi, Ortho, I agree with everyone else that we are all from the same Source, and whatever our circumstances in the physical, our deepest goal is to learn to love each other.
On the other hand, I'm of the opinion that we've been tinkered with on a genetic level by many players.
If I may, I'd like to offer for your reading pleasure a Very Long Thread on the Noble Dreams forum (offspring of the now closed Noble Realms forum, which was the sister to the Montalk website). It is, appropriately, the Bloodline thread, and is, as I said, Very Long, so peruse when you have a couple days.
Here's the link:

Lots of interesting food for thought there.
Cheers.
