Humans & Vargr were extracted from Terra, geneered, and transplanted to alien environments, where they subsequently evolved for 300,000 years. The other races were not. Those human & vargr races, respectively, also later interbred; some thoroughly, others less so.

It was only disclosed over the course of the publication run of original Classic Traveller that the Ancients were Droyne. The Ancients were the Ancients - a Mystery, an Enigma, with only conjectures and speculations. And Humans of different independently evolved cultures and even subspecies were...

That's a lot of Relict Clones . . . 😉 Of course, I'm sure if you've heard that once, you've heard it 64 times . . .

That is not just an issue with your email address verification. I get that all the time when I am trying to create, edit, or update wiki pages. I have to refresh/reload, backtrack and resubmit multiple times sometime just to do a simple edit. And in the end (especially if I have done some...
