Is this canon (although "canon" here would be the animated
series) or is this an idea borrowed from Niven's "Known Space"
timeline? I've never heard mention the Ticup before.  Is this part of
Garry-Trek?

 Generations can be localized.

I could work with this.  I'd like to set up some dates for this, although
this might involve trying to figure out how old the galaxy is.  I could
well imagine that in the first half of its existence, the galaxy might have
had no life beyond some of the most primitive, most basic forms.

be a clue.

Where is the original homeworld of the Ekosians and Zeons (being Preserver
plants doesn't count)?  The equinods, I presume, are a Garry-Trek species.
The part "sentient lifeform does not share a genetic past with the
planet t= hey
live on" reminds me of the Odonans, and how they really had no idea of
evolution (the original lifeforms on Odona were small and did not leave a
l= ot
of good fossils) and how this could influence the development of science in
a society.  Clearly, the second-generation race might honestly believe they
were "created" since they could not have evolved on the planet,
and th= e
history of them arriving on the planet might well become a mythology.  It
almost wants to make me come up with a new race that more clearly is aware
of this aspect of being a second-generation civilization than the Odonans
are aware.
