"The results indicated that the individuals included in the study that represented the Sol-3 lineage showed the most affiliate and even tactile behaviour towards their Giselian caretakers."
"To find a definition and characterising criteria for what it means for Sol-3 humans to be classified as domesticated is not straight forward as they show territorially minded behaviour, which extends to a small extension of Sol-3, and though they are ready to die defending that small portion of their planet, even killing other humans along their way, they totally lack a sense of sharing a planet at all"
