Star Trek: Voyager has a specific answer to this question.
EDIT: To anyone unfamiliar with Star Trek, this episode of Voyager is “Distant Origin” (season 3 episode 23). In the episode, a species named Voth, encounter the remains of a Provisional Ensign Hogan who had died back in “Basics, Part II” (season 3 episode 1). Among a slim minority of the Voth science community is what is known as the Distant Origin Theory which suggest the species came from a far away place, which goes against The Doctrine, a narrow minded belief that Voth have always lived in the part of the galaxy they are currently located. During the episode it is determined that Voth and Humans share related DNA, which is later hypothesized to mean dinosaurs on Earth evolved to a point which they left the planet to live elsewhere.
they dint created reptilian races. there appears to be a number of them in the trek universe, voth the most advanced, Gorn, reptilian Xindis. they only created the human-like ones, and progenitors unlikely seeded the Xindi homeworld. xindi also an AVIAN species too.
I remember the first time I saw the 'evolved Troodon' as a little girl and it terrified me. I'm curious what it would be updated to, since we've learned so much in the last 30 years
Humans have back problems because we took a spine that had evolved for billions of years to be horizontal and stacked it up like a bunch of dinner plates.
Don't discount the power of sitting too much with bad posture. The spine can stay totally fine up to a significant age ... if you're not sitting like you're cosplaying as the Hunchback of Notre-Dame and get up and move once in a while.

now that I think about it, how would that fit into the progenitor lore?

According to the TNG story, they planted the seeds in very early stages of life so way before the last common ancestor of humans and dinosaurs

The Progenitors only created a handful of Humanoid species across planets.

I saw this and thought, "pretty sure that's from that documentary I saw a long, long time ago." Then I saw your comment, and felt vindicated.

They’d be smart enough not to be upright and bipedal to avoid back problems.

Bipedal dinosaurs with grasping hands are pretty common. Velociraptors, for example.

I read this while I'm sitting, hunched over, on an ice pack, at physical therapy for sciatica.
Thank you for the reminder.

How did you do that?
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 139d
The source code thing?
for inline and
for blocks (ignore the
\).You can also add an indicator for the type of code to the first indicator, like
for source highlighting.
