Sure, just like it's possible for this thread to avoid spiraling into "Wow she aged poorly" like every other thread with this image as the OP.

But it's very, very unlikely.

Ancient aliens/progenitor race.

species are defined by if they can breed fertile offspring.

Something something Warp shenanigans (or whatever the go-to explanation for everything in your setting is)

Battlestar Galactica.

Star Trek did this by having nearly all the sophonts created and guided by the designs of a long gone progenitor race, combined with the miracles of modern medicine to adjust for some differences.

advancement in genetic manipulation, using human as host, "mules". sure, why not. And to replying anon, some equines, canines or felines can crosbreed, some not. so term you're looking for in that case is "humanoid" i guess

They don't even breed with their "mate".The partner is basically a masturbation aid whose nervous system they borrow to impregnate themselves.

Nope. The likelihood that any other sapient space-faring species would be within even the correct air pressure for us to have bodily contact without exploding or decompressing is [UNKOWN]
