B'Elanna Torres, a hybrid split into Klingon and Human halves
Ahybrid, ormixed species, was the endresult of mixing two or more differentspecies, usually via thebiological process ofreproduction. ManyKlingons referred to any hybridderogatorily as amongrel. (VOY: "Barge of the Dead", "Prophecy")Spock was also derisively referred to as ahalf-breed on a number of occasions. (DIS: "If Memory Serves";TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", "This Side of Paradise", "Day of the Dove")
Biological aspects[]
Because of the commongenetic ancestry of most of the species of theMilky Way Galaxy by way of theancient humanoids, many species were able to interbreed with or without the help ofgenetictechnology. (TNG: "The Chase")
According toDoctorPhlox,Humans andVulcans were quite similar. (ENT: "Demons") In fact,Bethany, a Human/Skagaran hybrid, was one of the first known hybrids encountered by Humans fromEarth, confirming that such interspecies breeding was possible. (ENT: "North Star")
Societal aspects[]

Tora Ziyal, a Bajoran/Cardassian hybrid
In some cultures, children who are born as a result of interspecific relations were rejected by the society of both races. For example,Bajoran/Cardassian hybrids were often rejected by both Bajorans and Cardassians. (DS9: "Indiscretion", "Return to Grace") This was, however, the same treatment usually received by Cardassianorphans, as well. (DS9: "Cardassians")
During the mid-22nd century, before such things were commonplace, those behindTerra Prime, such asJohn Frederick Paxton, believed thatElizabeth, a test tube baby-hybrid of a Human and a Vulcan was "across-breedfreak," asking, "How manygenerations before ourgenome is so diluted that the word "Human" is nothing more than afootnote in somemedical text?" (ENT: "Terra Prime")
Personal aspects[]

Spock, a Vulcan/Human hybrid
As noted above, Spock, a Human/Vulcan hybrid, had many personal demons when it came to his being.
In2266, he shared with DoctorLeonard McCoy that "being split in two halves is notheory with me, Doctor. I have a Human half, you see, as well as analien half, submerged, constantly atwar with each other. Personal experience, Doctor. I survive it because myintelligence wins over both, makes them live together." (TOS: "The Enemy Within")
