Ummmm. A great big "huh?" just hit me.

The inhumi can imitate us.

The inhumi can imitate Neighbors.

How many limbs have the inhumi? And how can they imitate both us
and the Neighbors? Or ... can they?

How much "information" do the inhumi get from their victims? We
know that they get some kind of intelligence/memory/personality
download; do they get some kind of genetic/somatic download also?

Is this yet another case of Wolfe playing Lysenko games?

Aaaargh!
