A human population whose ancestors were planted on a world of their own by the Ancients around -300,000 and which developed separately from other human-inhabited worlds until it was eventually contacted by a star-faring society. Thus the Sword Worlders and inhabitants of the Islands Cluster subsectors are not minor human races, even though they did evolve their societies while separated from the mainstream of human society, because they were not planted by the Ancients. Likewise, geneered races like the Jonkeereen are not minor human races but variant human races.
Minor human races are distinguished from major human races by the fact that minor human races didn't discover jump drive on their own, while major races have.
