AlienRace is specifically for non-human individuals. The standard is human since they appear the most often, and we didn't want to have to add 'human' to every human's profile.

Any extra-terrestrial races can be added to that field.

Using 'Race' for the name of the field was decided against as was making it a standard field because it quickly delineates to races of human such as 'Asian' and 'African american', etc, which we don't want to highlight on the site and is already covered by nationality to a certain extent.

The Alien categorization shouldn't be added, I think, because the term 'Alien' is subjective. Kree see humans as alien, for example.

Species may be a better term, but I always thought the actual species name for humans was Homo-sapiens, so we'll get into a mess if people take the field name literally and start making up species names for all these extra-terrestrials. We also already have a Race Template, so going with Race seemed to be the best fit, though Alien again, is subjective.

Sounds like you're asking for the presence of 'Hybrid' in the origin field to categorize the page into Category:Hybrids. Is that true? Was there more you were specifically looking for?
