Gibheer Morphology System
The Gibheer Morphology System is a relatively new means of categorizing races in the Milky Way and other galaxies. It classifies body types, and some scientists think it may indicate species that are evolutionarily related -- this would be possible using panspermia hypotheses as well as basic ancient colony loss.
