It's my belief after looking long and hard, if sporadically, for years that "near-human" isn't a term that's used in Doctor Who. Instead, I think this term was innocently imported into our wiki from another franchise, most likely Star Wars. We know from talk:Near-human that it was not introduced here based on usage in DW fiction.

Unless someone can produce for me evidence from a narrative source that "near-humans" exist in the DWU, I'm going to eradicate the term from the database, replacing it with the term "humanoid".
