maybe stupid idea, maybe not, but wouldn't a "evolution" research line be something? ... like research and intel.
Ok evolution takes a lot more time usually, but space colonization also takes more time to do

.
But for example, you are terran.. and go to space more and more, you lose physical strength a lot, but you develope (with added research: genetic manipulation, cloning, random factors) telekinetic skills and telepathic abilities.
With the goal to ascent to a higher being? or like a very powerfull "ancient" space race that pocesses abilities beyond normal comprehension...
(like shadows and vorlons?)
