No, no. You're coming at that statement too narrowly, and I should've clarified. They're observably more human than not in just about every way. They think, they feel, they reason, and they create just like humans do. There's no distinction between human and Miqo'te that isn't a few superfluous physical quirks.
Also, whether you realize it or not, your attraction is still influenced by physiology, and things that equate to power.
Click these words for a blurb on the matter that links to a big ol' published paper.
And that works in reverse. Red means "power" to your brain. Power is attractive. That's universal.
Oh, I see. I kinda of stated the same in my previous post actually so we are in agreement ^^ If I gave a different impression then I apologise for being unclear. I don't mean to imply that miqo'te are different on a mental level but rather that their cultural mannerisms are more closely comparable to animals than modern society(but as I said, this can apply to any race).
Characters: Andre Winter (Hy'ur) / K'nahli Yohko (Miqo'te)
