Just call it convergent evolution. Like fish and dolphin.


Could you explain what convergent evolution is?


Basically: when species with different orgins live in similar environment they can finally achieve very similar forms (like wing of bat and pterodactyl, leaves of different plants, etc-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ex ... _evolution.). I think it can be used as suitable explanation (but on the other hand human two legged form is so inefficient comparing to others that it seems to be far-fetched explanation.)

Just imagine a villian pops up in front of you, grabs you by the shoulders and lifts you into the aim awhile another set of hands are charngin a ki blast point blank in your face. Now THAT'S an ultimate. [Think Machamp in DBZ world]

His name is Tenshinhan. ;)

(I know what you mean, though. XD )

Humans can be pretty tall under the right conditions, so I'm not convinced that Recoome being giant disqualifies him...
Being part of the Ginyu Force, though, would make relating thim to Earth pretty dang interesting. :)

I'm sure if Recoome got to the battle fields and saw humans he would have somewhere mentioned that we was ALSO a human.

There must be humans on other planets, like KO-35.
If there are Saiyajins and Namekuseijins on Earth, why not?

From what I know, Recoom is a humanoid-alien. No eyebrows at some point. The Saiyans have humanoid appearance, judging from their spiky hair//tails who has the power to go Oozaru.

Well, if you look closely, he doesn't have any eyebrows.
He's just an alien who happens to have a skin colour similar to humans.
Usually goes by "Kevtrev" elsewhere online.

There are sometimes people born without eyebrows.

But the question is, are there sometimes Recoomes born with eyebrows? :P

Over-analysis homework assignment:
Determine what conditions would have resulted in the evolution of a human-like species without eyebrows?

Or... hm... maybe he's just a mutant. XD

If you look closely at Krillin, he doesn't have a nose.

This kind of stuff is why I always say there should have been a Ginyu Tokusentai gaiden or movie about where they came from, how they formed, and what made them so feared and bad ass before they all died on Namek.
