The canon theory is more that they originally had ridges but augmented themselves to look like humans for the sake of espionage. Over time that became seen as cowardice so they reverted back. The real reason, of course, is make up budget.
It would be considered sacrilege, but I’d like to see a reboot where there are no human looking aliens at all. Not even things like Gorn. No half-human hybrids. imho
I remember reading a fan theory that the Klingons went from TOS smooth faces to Worf-like ridges due to the tribbles.
