Slearners |
A more advanced form of the Slinguist modification, and derived from the same research during the middle First Federation period. Slearners possess the same 'two-layered' learning ability of the Slinguists, but rather than merely applying to the learning of forms of communication, it applies to all of the learning abilities of the sophont, allowing the acquisition of all kinds of skill, major and minor, physical and mental, with the same ease as a very young child.
This modification is a very widely used one, and is found in sophonts of all toposophic levels all across Terragens space. Over the years it has been further improved, going beyond merely human levels of learning ability into fully optimised, highly efficient and literally superhuman forms of learning.
Those with this modification have become known as Slearners, from 'Super-Learners'.

Ireaders - modification - later clade - with increased linguistic ability, extending it to give an instinctive childhood ability to learn not only spoken but also written language, as easily as an unmodified baseline human learns to speak.
Slinguists - modification - later clade - more advanced than Ireaders, having not just an instinctive childhood ability to learn written communications, but made that highly efficient childhood learning process a permanent second 'layer' of ability when learning to communicate.
