Centaurians

Posting earlier about centaurs, I wondered whether the Centaurians in Poul Anderson's "Captive of the Centaurianess" are centauroid. I can't remember. However, see here. Since I do not remember the story, this might be a good time to reread it partly as a break from the Technic History.

"Captive of the Centaurianess" is introduced by an italicized extract from:

"-Vallabhai Rasmussen,

"Origins of the Galactic Era."

-Poul Anderson, "Captive of the Centaurianess" IN Anderson, The Gods Laughed (New York, 1982), pp. 149-232 AT p. 149.

Thus, we are in the same kind of fictional historical territory as we have been reading. Rasmussen informs us that the events recounted in the story occur late in the twenty-third century so, even if this story is a one-off, it could have been an installment of a future history series. That is all from me for this evening, however.
