There are humanoid animals. Monkeys and apes come to mind. I
assume {Dep} excludes them and all the Star Trek aliens that
resemble Humans. </blockquote>
<p>When Star Trek refers to <i>humanoids,</i> it usually means
something like "looks a lot like humans, but not a species from
Earth." Basically, whenever you create an alien race by sticking
prosthetics to a human face, that's a humanoid. Monkeys, mugatos,
and so on may be similar to humans in shape, but wouldn't be
considered humanoids. This difference is more true of the original
<i>Star Trek</i> than later shows, as they started getting the
science more accurate.<br>

<p>I don't know whether Okrand was thinking of the Star Trek
definition of <i>humanoid,</i> or something more general.<br>
