I thought that the Hickens' relationship to the Mudokons was similar to the way humans and other apes are linked. Eventually a smaller group of hickens strayed away from the main group, and they did not evolve nearly as fast as the original, larger group, as they all hickens in the larger group eventually evolved into mudokons. It sounds very stupid, but that's only due to my bad wording of the concept. I think that's how the humans/apes story goes, but I could be mistaken.
