This isn't the same. This is more like a black man trying to pass for an Asian man and vice versa.
The real physical difference for them is their eye shape and Duskwight faces are slightly thinner.
The skin tones for both races are varied but Duskwight tend to be darker and Wildwood tend to be lighter BUT we've seen Wildwood who are as dark as Duskwight. Â It wouldn't be impossible for it to be the other way around.
For that comparison to be true, they'd have to have evolved in completely different environments but both clans grew up in what is relatively the same environment in the Shroud.
Eye shape. Skin tone.
Duskwight evolved traits having to do with their environment.
So far, it seems like the difference between two IRL human races.
Actually, if you look at it more closely, the difference between Seeker/Keeper, Wildwood/Duskwight, Midlander/Highlander, Lohengarde/Sea Wolf, Raen/Xaela, and Plainsfolk/Dunesfolk is species.
Lalafell are all the same up to or Genus. So Plainsfolk and Dunesfolk separate at Species of Lalafell.
Quote:A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms where two hybrids are capable of reproducing fertile offspring, typically using sexual reproduction.
Species hypothesized to have the same ancestors are placed in one genus, based on similarities. The similarity of species is judged based on comparison of physical attributes, and where available, their DNA sequences.
If you consider Dunesfolk, the defining characteristic of their species is the presence of a layer over the eyes that protects their ocular organs from intense light and gives them that large, glassy look. Plainsfolk cannot simply decide to become Dunesfolk, and there will be dominant and recessive genes in interspecies Lalafell.
Step back, and Lalafell and Miqote branch away from one another at Family.
