Mentats - After the abolition of thinking computers or A.I after the deady Butlerian Jihad, humans were recruited and trained to be used as living bio computers.
The Bene Tleilax, also known as the Tleilaxu, were a secretive group of genetically altered humans who lived on the planet Tleilax
Sorceress – These are a naturally evolved group of humans that have managed to have telekinetic and telepathic abilities. They are the precursors to the Bene gesserit
Navigators are a type of artificially evolved humans belonging to the Spacing Guild. Through consuming and being exposed to large amounts of the spice Melange
A Face Dancer was a part of a genetically altered and enhanced race created by the Bene Tleilax but with a status below their Tleilaxu Masters.
- A Cymek was a thinking machine that was once human but had been converted into a cyborg, with a robotic body controlled by a preserved human brain.
hybrids called the Futars were a human/feline mix created by the Bene Tleilax
Harkonnen Pet – Seen only in the recent dune part one movie adaptation, the spider creature with human features is most likely a hybrid created by the Bene tleilax for the harkonnens
Axolotl Tanks - Although appearing as machinery or equipment, the axolotl tanks were in fact females of the Bene Tleilax, transformed into a reproductive piece of machine
These Phibians are a hybrid humanoid sub-race created through genetic engineering, mentioned in Chapterhouse: Dune.
These are members of the Atreides bloodline after Leto the first which had been mixed and monitored for millennia by the Bene gesserit under a breeding programme that would bring forth a Kwizatz Haderach.

Instead of finding aliens. We created our own aliens.
-
The one with the woman looking like she’s only alive for making children in the thumbnail is just horrifying
-
It is implied through the books that the humans in the dune universe are not much like current day humans, even the fremen have mutations that improve their coagulation, and given the variety of environments it's likely that humans in that future have bodies far more tolerant to extreme conditions, we tend to imagine them as modern humans, but I like to think that while they identify each other as humans, we probably would see them as aliens.

Giving me all tomorrows vibes were humans evolved into abominations but got used to it
-
In Dune humanity can exist within these extremes, Biological Horrors beyond our comprehension or Mechanical Horrors beyond our comprehension.
-
I really hope they atleast will show the navigators in the next movie
-
The only known sentient alien race in the Dune lore are the sandworms.
-
The more I study Dune, the more parallels I find with WH40k. Although of course there are the same number of differences. Thank you for an interesting video!👍
-
The spider-human-hybrid is rumored to be the wife of Dr. Yueh who was changed in a horrible way to that of the spider pet...
-
Some axolotl tanks were revived. They are why the Honered Matres hate the Theilaxu above the rest.
-
As far as I remember, Paul never did awaken his Other Memories, only the Prescience. And Miles Teg was also a super-human related to the Atreides family. Unexpected.
-
There were still the Gholas - clones made in axolotl tanks - and I recall reading a race of humans genetically altered , they had their immunity and smell organs altered to work at the sewage of a city. Oh yes, and the suk! Dude, you shuold make a part 2!
-
Star Wars and Warhammer 40k are directly sampled from Dune. Also, only the novels by Frank are canon.
-
You forgot about the Golas and the briefly mentioned alien race encountered when a navigator is given the synthetic spice that interrupts navigation and they barely escape
-
"Futars"... considering their roll in the books its no wonder their name sounds like "futa"
-
Child: MOM CAN WE HAVE ALIENS?! Mom: we got aliens at home… The aliens: this video
-
You know...Dune could be the creators of all future sentient alien life throughout the Galaxy, creating their own humanoid races much in the same vein as Star Wars or Star Trek universes.
-
I searched for different human types and here it is, the video I was searching for uploaded just a day ago!
-
So that’s where Iron Warriors got the idea of Daemonculaba from…
-
Honestly, I find this future of humanity to be very interesting. After 21,000 years (10191 AG in the movie is equivalent to 23352 AD) humanity evolves into a multitude of subspecies, such as the Fremen, Mentats, Guild Navigators, etc. It makes sense too, since there were eight other subhuman species that lived alongside us Homo Sapiens before they went extinct (Homo Erectus, Homo Habilis, etc.)
