CadmiumBQ Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 it's not an overall important question, but it is important to me because reasons, but has anyone ever asked if singers and humans are close enough in their genetic codes/chromosomes/etc to actually interbreed? is that a weird question? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's possible. Both Horneaters and Herdazian have both singer and human mixed ancestors. Spoiler Mandi Both Parshendi and Horneaters are able to see spren, ordinary humans can't. Is there a connection between these abilities, or do they come from completely different sources? Brandon Sanderson Horneaters are human/Parshendi hybrids. (There are several Roshar races that have Parshendi blood in them.) Goodreads: Ask the Author Q&A (Aug. 13, 2014) Spoiler HorseCannon I didn't realize Horneaters had parshmen blood, didn't even realize that was possible. How closely are humans and parshmen related, do they have a common ancestor? Or is one an artificially created version of the other? Brandon Sanderson There was intermixing long ago. Horneaters and Herdazians are both a result. (Signs of this are the stone carapace on Herdazian fingernails and the Horneater extra jaw pieces--in the back of the mouth--for breaking shells.) Humans and parshmen don't have a common ancestor. And as a side note, both of these strains of humanoids predate the ascension of Honor, Cultivation, and Odium. ccstat Are there Aimian-Human hybrids as well? (Either type of Aimian) If so, are the Thaylen people one of these? Brandon Sanderson RAFO. Blightsong *via private message* Some of us believe that you are saying that humans and listeners existed pre-Shattering while some of us believe that you are saying that Horneaters and Herdazians existed pre-Shattering (you have mentioned that humans had been on Roshar since before the Shattering recently). What were you trying to say here? Brandon Sanderson Humans (other than those on Yolen) existed pre-Shattering, as did parshmen. Footnote: Blightsong's parenthetical statement is mistaken; there is no source claiming that humans had been on Roshar since before the Shattering.
