Welcome back, Sandy!
The lengthy discussion on biology and taxonomy was interesting, though a bit over my head. I'll bow to Sandy's obvious 90%+ in Biology.
I did have something to contribute re: the biology of Dwarfs. In my own short Ambush Gap campaign, which borrowed heavily from Glorantha, I concluded that Dwarfs may have originally been of mammalian stock, but they have heavily modified it over the years by the magical equivalent of genetic engineering. They are masters of alchemy, and create many constructs; even their myths claim that the Original Mostali created other Mostali who created other Mostali...there may be other biological differences differences between the dwarf castes than have been assumed.
