What about aeldari's primary sexual characteristics?

[Kshahdoo]

Are they similar to humans or not?

[mhsiea]

They are basically space elves.

[Turgius]

Space Elf biology only appears similar to humans on a superficial outward degree. So, no.

"e. Abdominal cavity. Subject possesses flexible bony ‘plates’, ie: secondary ribcage beneath abdominal muscles; here folded downwards. Digestive and renal systems match upper cavity in grace and complexity (NB: no obvious peristalsis, chemical enzymes or degenerative fluids in evidence: how does digestion occur — if at all?). Reproductive organs outwards analogous to human male, but gamete delivery appears progressive — ie: corresponding organs for successive ‘stages’. (Spec: conception occurs over extended period: additional genetic material supplied at preordained stages throughout gestation? Inconclusive.) Again, no chemical stores or bodyfat analogues."

I have the book you pulled this excerpt from and all this while true it is also true that there are no less than 2 instances of canon half-Aeldari characters in WH40k lore.

I was under the impression that GW chooses to ignore the original Smurf Illiyan Nastase's existence since they created a very not Hybrid Eldar with the same name, and the other instance was a science project grown in a tube by Malcador.

There was another one who ran a pirate fleet under the employ of the Iron Warriors.

Granted, she was implied to have been a dark eldar hybrid, so its possible she was just something a haemonculus cooked up.

So as far as I understand, despite some obvious differences overall aeldari male reproductive organs look pretty similar to humans?

It sounds like something Fabius Bile could be involved in as well. If there is anyone who could figure it out, it's him. Though space elf souls are different and how to get around, the fact that they were initially reincarnated over millions of years rather than just new ones forming would have to be fleshed out as well, as that is not the typical case with humans in setting.

It's just the male, but precisely what gets passed to the female and how isn't clear, as Eldar do not have organs that store fluids, not even digestive fluids. It also supposedly takes multiple transfers to genetic material over time, leading to the possibility of multiple fathers. Their anatomy could just rely on warp fu*kery, which is beyond the means of the mechanicus to explain. Much like the Ork's 'clap your hands if you believe' technology is grounded in psychic warp fuc*ery as well. They are both bio-weapons created by immortal godlike psychic space frog people precursors, after all.

There are also dark eldar that modify some of their women to be more genetically compatible with humans and sell them into slavery to wealthy patrons including rogue traders corrupt planetary governors and the aristocracy.
Reread the bio description again.
It doesn't say they don't have bodily fluids it says they don't have a chemical based digestive tract like most species.
They have fluids and bleed quite copiously when dismembered by a space marine.

Side note, but I much prefer it when space marines are dismembered by Aeldari, those two hearts make some nice blood fountains.
