Star Trek: 10 Things You Didn't Know About The Soongs

10. Adam Soong Worked On Project Khan

One of the biggest reveals from Star Trek: Picard's second season was that Adam Soong was directly involved with Project Khan, the series of scientific experiments that produced Khan Noonien Singh and the other earliest genetically modified Humans. This project later sparked the Eugenics Wars, where augmented Humans tried to take over the world using their superior abilities.

After Adam's cloned daughter Kore hacked into his computer and deleted most of his files, the physical copy of the Project Khan notes was one of the few pieces of top-secret research he still owned. We can assume that Adam revived the project (which was dated June 7, 1996), eventually leading to the conflict Spock talked about in the Original Series episode Space Seed.

Spock had said that the Eugenics Wars started in the 90s, but we can assume that either everything was classified up until after 2024, or Spock got the timeline wrong because records of that time period are so incomplete.
