After the humans arrive in Earth, they could decide if they’ll stay with the Oankalis and breed with them, or leave them and try to make their own cities and live a long infertile life. Since the Oankali made genetic modifications in all humans in their ship, the human are no longer able to procreate without an ooloi.
