These are animals (such as dogs or chimps) that have
been gengineered, surgically altered, or fitted with brain
implants to give them communicative ability and intelligence
approaching human levels. Most uplifts are borderline-
sapient, with reasoning capacities similar to those
of a human 5- to 8-year-old.

Uplifts have been created as companions,
workers, experiments, curiosities, and even soldiers.
They are generally considered animals rather than people,
but laws often provide additional protections, with the
state having the right to remove an abused uplift. In many
areas, such as the European Union, China, and the United
States, ownership of a sapient uplift requires a license
and (in the E.U.) occasional visits from caseworkers to
ensure that the uplift is doing well. Other areas have more
lax standards. The South African Coalition, Pacific Rim
Alliance, and TSA have few restrictions on uplifts,
although normal laws (e.g., regulating owning of dangerous
animals and animal cruelty) apply.
