Could it be argued, that in Star Trek, there is actually only one single species?

Asked by ragingloli (51971points) April 24th, 2017

In TNG it was revealed that all the humanoid species of the Galaxy were seeded by an ancient culture.
One of the definitions of a species is the ability to produce fertile offspring.
And in Star Trek: Voyager, the half-Klingon, half-Human B’Elanna Torres was able to become pregnant from Tom Paris.
So could it be said that, at least Klingons and Humans are the same species, if not all the humanoid races in the galaxy?
