I loved the Xindi Species all five types unfortunately we never got to see the extinct 6th bird like Species of them, my favorite was the Insectoid Species of them, great video very enjoyable!
Michael Kelley I like the aquatics the best. It is sad that we never got to see them again. Maybe discovery will bring them back (I doubt that). I would really like them to expand on them I think they have a lot of potential. But i don't think they were mentioned in star trek tng.
Absolutely the goofiest thing on the Enterprise & in the ST universe & of course the Reptilians had to be the bad asses because they are, oh so, cold blooded...
@@Iluvbabaganush123 Maybe we'll see them in the new Picard series. For some reason I always imagined Captain Picard debating philosophy with an Aquatic.
Perhaps the hydrophobia is a hold-over from their animalistic past, not unlike modern sloths on Earth. A number of species need to swim across flooded rivers to navigate the rainforest, and it is one of their most vulnerable times. It would make them easy prey for any passing river predator, which could be anything from a Cayman to an Anaconda. In the case of Xindus, itself, it may well have been an ancestor of the Aquatics, too.
So much to say about the Xindi, 6 species that developed larger brains and used tools to evolve. It all seemingly happened at the same time. I love the reminders from the show and interpretations. Great channel, thank you.
I like to imagine similar races from different genres meeting each other and guessing their reactions. Would the insectoids and geonosians get along? How would the work together against the xenomorphs of the alien franchise? What of the aquatics meeting the mon calimari and the ones who cloned the republic army, or even Jar Jar Binks' amphibious race? Would the reptilians, gorn, and the voth get along? I'm not the first to do this; I imagine it started with someone who came up with the idea of King Kong fighting Godzilla.
Xindi, and ENT as a whole, I thought had a lot of undeveloped potential, such as the Boomers and traders. Thanks for presenting this. -- I'd thought somewhere early on, the Xindi said they'd genetically engineered themselves. Not sure if they adapted one species into the six, or if one species "uplifted" the others.
Ben W nah, wasn't the Xindi, it was the Suliban Cabal, and really, they weren't even modding themselves anyway. Plus, just _please_ don't say "uplifted" after he's offered the Salarians...
In the case of the cybermen, they don't represent one species. Basically, any species which is mortal will eventually seek to prolong their life beyond normal means, which will culminate in the creation of cybermen. It's a case of convergent evolution.
It should be noted that at the time Modern Human first evolved on earth, there were Eight (that we know of today) other human like Hominid species living on the planet. Ten Thousand year later we were the only one, and no one is sure why.
@@toomanyaccounts More like Neanderthals dominated and raped the Cro Magnons. If they had intermixed amicably, there would be multiple strains of mitochrondria, as it's inheirented from the mother. There isn't, neanderthal men bred with cro magnon women.
I'm betting that in ancient times, there was a super predator in the water that hunted them. I'm not claiming the water Xindi, but maybe something that is now extinct
Why are they the arboreal xindi though? I mean I get the insects, reptiles,and primates. Aquatic isn’t quite as clear but I guess there is no other water related ones so they could take a more generalized name instead of fishbois or whatever. But arboreals? From what I saw in this video it looked like they were some kind of mammalian. And they lived in trees at one point so if we remove the largest group of mammals that are arboreal, the primates because they already have a race, we are left with some random animals. I guess they were sloths according to memory alpha. But some sloths aren’t even arboreal. But even if they evolved from any arboreal animal at all why would they call their race that? I mean you already got 3 other races that could also be called arboreal. Reptiles and insects both are very commonly arboreal. And primates are extremely arboreal. In fact there are also arboreal aquatic animals, but thats beside the point. Maybe only sloths loved in trees on this planet? It’s possible. But the writers could have just called them sloathian or Bradypus Xinidi if they were weird. Since they are the knowledgeable ones it wouldn’t be too weird for them to refer to themselves in a scientific manner. And maybe the other races call them a simplified or derogatory name like three-toes. Um… anyways more importantly they aren’t even arboreal! Like the one thing they are known as and they aren’t even that! They live in spaceships now, and unless there are trees in that spaceship then they aren’t arboreal anymore! Give it up guys. Change your name. You are spaceboreal now. Lol Sorry I just very much associate arboreal mammals with primates, and they look like primates as well, so it was confusing me why there were two races that were identical. It was bothering me so I got carried away. Great video. But I think you missed explaining they were similar to sloths. Or I missed it. Also I just want to say that sloths are extremely good swimmers so it doesn’t make sense they are scared of water. But I could easily understand how bodies of water could become a primal fear.
question 1:53 this black man is arboreal or primates?? i thing he is primates but he lot of times has an arboreal policy..that's my question from here.. what kind of species he is???
Xindi "species" are all basically a different species entirely in my understanding what defines a Xindi, having a common ancestor? All terrestrial life goes back to a common ancestor but that does not make a, say, a dolphin part of the human species, this never made sense to me.
They identify as the "same" species, since all are roughly equally intelligent and share a common ancestry, since they evovled on the same planet. Humans became united after realising that they where not alone in the universe. I assume the same goes for the Xindi.
Mark P Eh no idea. Honestly I feel like I didn’t know what I was talking about back then, and honestly I was probably confused at how alien species are always called races for some reason
The Xindi return to help out in Star Trek Online when the Expanse Sphere Builders return in the wake of a devastating conflict I cannot speak further for you must seek this knowledge yourself 😏
I keep reading this is XINDI-ADORABLE.
The young ones probably are :) .

Or perhaps they don't swim and would sink.
I've enjoyed viewing your cultural index. Would you consider doing a presentation of the Denobulans? Phlox was my favorite character on Enterprise.

Incescts dont get along with other species if incescts. They would probably try to kill each other
We need to see more Xindi vidoes and more Xindi in startreck
Do more Xindi videos
samaravadi3 I totally agree!
+
Yes.
samaravadi3 I'd like to see more Xindi as well!
Great! Look forward to your other ones.
I want to watch Enterprise now. Not for the stories or gaps in the timeline, but for the diverse alien species in it.
Cabal Empire (Destiny)
Would have been great to see the avian Xindi, I wonder if their ships had small mirrors and seed bells.
Where's the Xindi Primate CI? How am I supposed to complete the set if one's missing?
I was a big fan of DS9. There would be a lot to say about the bajoran or the trill cultures.
I like to think the arboreals initially thought they could get along with the tellarites, until they had their first argument.
Waiting for the Orion (Star Trek ) Cultural Index

could make a video about the Borg?
while the borg and cybermen are culturally dead it would be really interesting to see what you can dig up on any culture they had in the past if any.
In the case of the cybermen, they don't represent one species. Basically, any species which is mortal will eventually seek to prolong their life beyond normal means, which will culminate in the creation of cybermen. It's a case of convergent evolution.
Please please more xindi please please please
In the JJ star trek we see simian and insectoid Xindi.
Not a single down-vote. Well done.
Xindi-Aboreals and Tellarites look very similar, at least in the thumbnails.
So they’re Canada
But with a civil war and no forestry.
ben fuller lmfao we are far better looking though
Canadian!
more Xindi videos
the other xindi and the Cabal please?
xindi were my fav part of enterprise
So Arboreal Xindi is basically the Ruhar, and Reptilians the Kristang, of Star Trek?
It should be noted that at the time Modern Human first evolved on earth, there were Eight (that we know of today) other human like Hominid species living on the planet. Ten Thousand year later we were the only one, and no one is sure why.
the only one that was the same time was the Neanderthals and there is evidence of fighting, trading, breeding between the two.
@@toomanyaccounts More like Neanderthals dominated and raped the Cro Magnons. If they had intermixed amicably, there would be multiple strains of mitochrondria, as it's inheirented from the mother.
There isn't, neanderthal men bred with cro magnon women.
How about the Human's in the B5 Universe? That story line goes billions of years into the future.
Did you ever do a Xindi Primate video?
Reminds me of Alien Halflings
Sweet 👍
is enterprise there only star trek serie i mean the xindi

The arboreals look delicious. The avians would probably be yummy, too.
question 1:53 this black man is arboreal or primates?? i thing he is primates but he lot of times has an arboreal policy..that's my question from here.. what kind of species he is???
the xindi primates get along fairly well with the xindi arboreals.

Greg Gasiorowski it makes as much sense as Pokémon in general.
They identify as the "same" species, since all are roughly equally intelligent and share a common ancestry, since they evovled on the same planet. Humans became united after realising that they where not alone in the universe. I assume the same goes for the Xindi.
Arboreal Xindi are like say native American humans while Primate Xindi are like European. They are the same species just different races
@@albertschoise8091 - But Indians and Europeans can interbreed. Can an Arboreal and....say....Insectoids do that?
Mark P Eh no idea. Honestly I feel like I didn’t know what I was talking about back then, and honestly I was probably confused at how alien species are always called races for some reason
I think the New Klingons are just Arboreal xindis with hairloss

Am I the only one who thinks they kinda look like Tellarites
They eat Nirn root, lol
The Borg are a culture!
The Salarians
And they use Tellarite ships. LOL
