Homobrutum

A homobrutum (man-beast) was a member of a humanoid species that shared characteristics of both Humans and non-sentient animal species. Nearly all humanoids in the galaxy classified as homobrutums. Most homobrutums were the result of genetic modification by the Rakatans, who combined the genetic material of their Human slaves and domesticated animals. As such, all homobrutums distantly shared Human genetic material. Humanoids such as Chiss, Zeltrons, and Arkanians were direct natural descendants of Humans without much genetic modification, and as such were considered humanoids but not homobrutums. Likewise, other species such as the Abyssin were genetically modified using Human artificial genetic material and not that of an animal, thus making them humanoid non-homobrutums.

History
The first homobrutums appeared as early as 100,000 BBY as a result of genetic modification by the Kwa and Rakatans. By 20,000 BBY, several thousand homobrutum species existed. Initially, Humans looked down upon non-Human sentients as paranormal beasts, though as the millennia progressed many alien species integrated into the Human-dominated galactic community.
