The problem is that then you can't have humans or any very humanoid
species. Unless your Movari become living fossils.

As far as I'm concerned, the world where I put my Dr=E1selhadh, Ciravesu,
and the rest, is in a different reality, which is in some respects quite
similar to ours, and can even 'leak' into ours sometimes (and viceversa).
I guess I chose to have an Earth-like planet and a human people in order
not to complicate things further. I like alien species, but creating a
*really* alien culture ( =3D one that is not ours + some interesting twis=
ts)
doesn't seem feasible to me, and making a planet for them is boring (you
have to do a lot of calculations!).

Of course all that rationalization didn't take place in the beginning.
At that point I was just lazy. :-)
