+An explanation of the evolutionary history of the three known sophont species is illustrative, particularly since it provides an opportunity to show what other [[universe:mikurmiya:avishraa|Avishraan]] lifeforms are like.
 It is important to remember that a large proportion of Avishraan vertebrates are [[species:clade:hexapod|hexapods]]; they are six-limbed, or at least descended from ancestors that were - in the same way that snakes or dolphins are classed as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrapod|tetrapods]], despite having lost some or all of their limbs through natural selection. Since only four limbs are required for locomotion, particularly on the ground, it's fairly common for at least one pair of limbs to be have been specialized for some other purpose. Those vertebrates that are not hexapods are, for the most part, the equivalents of Earthly fish, though there are a few "living fossil" species of genuine tetrapods.
