The reason that there are so many humanoids in the Star Trek Universe is that a lost civilization terraformed the galaxy and seeded it with humanoid life.
TOS The Paradise Syndrome.
TNG The Chase.
Not sure what "seeded" means, in terms of biology. Do they all have DNA? Are they genetically compatible? Or are they different kinds of lifeforms - perhaps not necessarily carbon-based - that were at some point modified to look like humans... and speak English?...
