I tend to agree. Over and over the Inhumi are described as reptilian. Then they end up mimicking
a mammalian mating ritual but reproducing like amphibians in the water. What gives? I know Wolfe's 
zoology is not so deficient.

Marc, I mentioned an Eden connection to Green via Quetzal's story in the thread Claw = Fang?. Then there 
is the "GREEN is Urth!". How does this origin myth relate to the Inhumi being "vestigal parasites"? Which
came first, humans or inhumi?
