Blue Planet! How could I forget that one. It's got engineered sentient species from Earth (dolphins, orcas and hybrid human species) and the house keeping species of intelligent manta rays left behind by the progenitor race hinted to be responsible for both Earth and Poseidon intelligence.
On the original point I can't think of any SF RPG that addresses the evolution of intelligent species, or life in general, across the galaxy, prior to the immediate era of play. There's the common trope of a progenitor race responsible for uplifting some or all of the intelligent species in the setting, and Ringworld did have the Niven idea of the Builders and the Thrinth/Tnuctipun backstory, but nothing else springs to mind.
How's your own addition to the galactic mind doing? I hope mother and son are doing well.
