So a while ago I came up with an idea in my bizarre head: what if humans kept evolving, but were in space? I'm not talking Man After Man here, less weird and more realistic. I then set out to make it a sci-fi story. When pitching it to some friends, they said it sounded similar to something else, but none of them could place it precisely. ADAD boards, it's up to you! Good luck.
Basically my story takes place three million years in the future. Humans have long since achieved space travel and, after settling on various worlds, have evolved slightly as a result. For instance, those on a colder planet are a tad bit hairier. Anyway, the humans who never really settled and remained in space haven't changed much, and there's an increasing genetic purity movement among them for the genome closest to that of H. sapiens sapiens. This has caused them to act much like Nazis or arguably Apartheid, classing people based on how "human" they are. They have control over much of the known universe and are generally not good.
There are also two known types of aliens in this universe: a humanoid buglike race that's very strong but that has difficulties speaking Galactic (or English, I suppose) because of their mouthparts, and an octopod race of telepathic cyclopes. These two are also put at the bottom of the "human" scale and are treated dreadfully.
I know for a fact robots are going to fit into this, and I am finalizing a few designs, but I'm not positive how.
Any thoughts? Would this be cool? How much revision does it need? What is it similar to? Thanks!
