	The '''elmiforms''' are a cross-species, cross-planet group of organisms that share, among other things, a body plan similar to that of an [[elmian]] or a [[human]]. These similarities, which go beyond just their body shape, are so many that they have led to the idea of a shared extra-planetary origin (i.e. several [[Wikipedia:Panspermia\|panspermia]] events originating from one celestial body that split in its trajectory), the [[Estranged Mother Theory]].

New page

The '''elmiforms''' are a cross-species, cross-planet group of organisms that share, among other things, a body plan similar to that of an [[elmian]] or a [[human]]. These similarities, which go beyond just their body shape, are so many that they have led to the idea of a shared extra-planetary origin (i.e. several [[Wikipedia:Panspermia|panspermia]] events originating from one celestial body), the [[Estranged Mother Theory]].

== List of elmiforms ==
The known elmiforms are the following:

* [[Elmians]], the prototypical elmiforms, from planet [[Elm]],
* [[Julean|Juleans]], from [[Julee]],
* [[Human|Humans]], from [[Earth]], the only elmiform species to have become completely extinct,
* [[Felds]], from [[World]], one of two elmiform species not included in the [[Estranged Mother Theory]] (they evolved much later than the rest), and
* [[Clúnydd]], also from [[World]], the second elmiform species not included in the theory, and the only ones that can trace their ancestry to organisms from the [[dess]].

== Characteristics ==
Elmiforms (and life on their respective planets in general) share a number of characteristics that not only distinguish them from other sophonts, but also group them together in unusual ways.

* '''Bipedal locomotion and upright stance''': all elmiforms have the following:
** Two pairs of clearly defined '''arms''' and '''legs'''.
** A '''torso''' divided into a protected upper half (the ribcage) containing major parts of the circulatory and respiratory systems, and a vulnerable soft lower half (the belly), containing major parts of the digestive and reproductive systems.
** A '''head''' with a sturdy hollow skull containing the brain and including the eyes, nose, ears and related processes, along with a mouth used to both vocalise and ingest nutrients.
* '''Genetic information storage:''' genetic information on all elmiform species is universally based on [[Wikipedia:DNA|DNA]], [[Wikipedia:RNA|RNA]], and the [[Wikipedia:Nucleobases|nucleobases]] [[Wikipedia:Adenine|adenine]], [[Wikipedia:Cytosine|cytosine]], [[Wikipedia:Guanine|guanine]], [[Wikipedia:Thymine|thymine]] and [[Wikipedia:Uracil|uracil]].
* '''Reproduction and child-rearing:''' all elmiforms reproduce sexually, are viviparous, and breastfeed their offspring.
** Notably, all elmiforms have some kind of [[Wikipedia:Disaccharide|disaccharide]] in their milk. Elmians, humans, felds and clúnydd all share [[Wikipedia:lactose|lactose]] content, juleans being the only ones to produce [[Wikipedia:Threose|threose]] instead.
