So when I first read Zebulon's Guide way back when it came out, I saw the description of Humma reproduction and noticed that it wuld never work. The same problem existed later on Star Trek Voyager with the Ocampa. Every couple has 1 child?? How the heck are they not extinct?<br /><br />I like the solutions I've seen in these forums and in the Humma literature you guys have put out there.<br /><br />Here is the direction I took it decades ago:<br /><br />Once a young female Humma gives birth, she does not undergo the transition right away. The change takes approximately 2 years, starting from the time of the birth. During that time, if she mates again, she could get pregnant again. Thus, the transition can be delayed, as long as the female keeps getting pregnant.<br /><br />If the female gives birth, and does not get pregnant again within the 2 year window of opportunity, the transition occurs, and the female becomes a male.<br /><br />Although many Humma only have 1 child, some Humma manage to have 5 or 6 children. Twins and triplets are rare, but do happen sometimes.<br /><br />Because of high-tech advancements and drugs, the Humma have also devised a way to delay the transition indefinitely.
