   The most important effect of the Eugenics Wars is that it produced   
   Khan so that Captain Kirk could abandon him on Ceti Alpha whatever.   
   I realise this contradicts your opening sentence, but that's because   
   your opening sentence is wrong.  TOS contained references to both

   been the same thing.
