But when they couldn't find any other sentient species, are we to assume that the ones encountered in the series didn't evolve until later? These being species such as the Gorn, Horta etc. Also, where do the Borg fit into the scheme? Did they evolve spontaniously? Or was there a massive Fortran Project scenario played out on some world?
Lastly, I would like to know how the Q continuum is to be viewed. Are these the original 'humanoids' who buggered off into a new plane of existance. shedding physical bodies for energy immortality - there was a TNG episode about that too wasn't there?

I'll start off with the Q, i like the Q.
According to Q, the Q have always been in existance, the universe was created, and the Q came into existance at the same time. The Q proclaim themselves to be omnipitant, but Quinn stated in a VOY episode that although they seemed to be, they were far from it.
The Q arn't an ascended (thats the Gater in me talking
) form of life.
Your correct in saying there was a TNG episode about beings evolving to a different form of life. It was quite a good episode too.
There isn't a time span as to when different forms of life evolved, all we are told is that the 'first' species didn't find anyone around when they were exploring, so they dumped some genes all over the place so that when they moved on, their species wouldn't be completly lost.
The origins of the borg are a mystery so far. There is no borg 'homeworld' as such, only a large space station type thingy in the delta quadrant. The borg have been around for hundreds possibly thousands of years. I do hope we get more info about them. Although they kinda lost their scaryness somewhat, i do love their technology and ships.
