(see digitial remastered Zebs page 22)<br />Zebs characteristics for humma states: hermaphroditic, vivaporous reproduction<br /><br />It later explains: "Young humma are female. After they have borne a single child (all humma bear one child in their lifetime) they change into males. When humma approach 170 years of age they undergo another change into a neuter stage and remain neuter until death."<br /><br />The problem is, "How does the population grow?"<br /><br />If every humma only produces 1 humma then how did they get beyond the first Humma to populate a whole star system?<br /><br />Every humma that dies as a female would be a massive tragedy for the race as they would be a race in decline that would eventually die out "Last of the Mohicans" in SF.<br /><br />Unless someone can explain how a race where each member only produces 1 new member can grow beyond its starting number then I think we need to change this to be each female humma produces 1 litter (1d10 of off spring) <br />
