Has anyone had a look at the original 'abhuman doctrines' article from White Dwarf? A lot of the groups listed as abhumans on this page are said in there to be mutants, not abhumans, or something else (e.g. afriels and gland-warriors) and the title wasn't really meant to imply every group included were abhumans. It comes with a preamble describing mutation generally and
Given the small number of official 'abhumans' in the canon, perhaps this article needs to trim the fat a little? Marginalia, 22:10 19 October 2021 (UTC+1)

Did anyone ever notice this: Ogryn evolved on high-gravity worlds, making them big and strong. Ratlings evolved on a low-gravity world making them small. Squats evolved on high-gravity worlds, making them small and strong..
Does anyone know what the deal is? Is it just a GW fault or...what? Because, it doesn't make sense, to me at least. On one planet high gravity accounts for big and strong, on the other it's the low gravity. Or am I just nitpicking? :) -- JoeneB, 3 August 2006, 22:29 (CEST).
- Squats evolved on high gravity worlds with a highly toxic, radiated or otherwise barren stormblown serfaces but which were rich in rare minerals underground. They survived by living in underground tunnel complexes where they mined the minerals. They evolved to be shorter to cope with tunnel living. Its very poor science but it was their explanation. --Light obsidian 17:07, 12 April 2011 (CEST)
