There might be something to this. There are hints at the preferability

of a pure human race, uncontaminated by alien interbreeding to be found

in BotNS.


The inspiration might well be the Bible. The reason given for the Flood was 

the vague explanation of "the wickedness of men". But the Genesis passage 

just before the Flood verses shed more light on that "wickedness" in the 

minds of some theological scholars.


The previous passage (Genesis 6:4) discusses the Nephilim, a race of giants, 

ostensibly created from the sexual congress between human women and fallen 

angels (demons). This half-breed race is surely cognate to the Greek heroes

who were usually the product of human women and Olympian gods.


There are textual hints that such things have happened, in parallel, on Urth, 

hence the otherwise unexplained reason that a Flood was necessary for the

cleansing of Urth and need for a re-population from pure human stock.
