Physiology and Environment

The Ancients, as a species, are believed to be extinct. Some Imperial scientists believe that the Ancients' physiology greatly resembles that of the extant Droyne. Some scientists have even proposed that the Droyne and the Ancients may be the same or related species, and possibly even subspecies of the same race. Alternatively, during the Second Imperium and early Third Imperium, one of the leading scientific theories of the period concerning the origin of the Ancients was the Archon Thesis. This thesis is not widely held among modern xenoarchaeologists, however.
