Subject: What makes the Emperor such an outlier among human psykers?
I don’t buy that the Krork = Orks. Which is why I’ve bought the Codex so I can read the primary source.
I'd also suggest the White Dwarf 3rd ed Kroot Army list. IIRC, it's where it's suggested that Kroot are also an offshoot of the Krork. If not, I know it's one of the Kroot articles from that era.

The Emperor, or Emperor of Mankind was introduced in the book Realms of Chaos Lost and the Damned in 1991, he was created when all of the shaman and women on Earth combined their powers.
That is why he is still alive even 40,000 years in the future.

My memory of it was it was theorised that orks landed on Pech and got eaten by a krootoid lifeform that then developed into the Kroot based on absorbed Ork DNA in the same way all krootoid life forms do.

The spore thing is a retcon. In 1990's Waaargh The Orks! it is made clear that new orks are grow in marsupial-like pouches on older orks that have gone feral (like kangaroos). They were always green, though - that's a an original Warhammer staple.
They were different shades to start with before settling on green. Check out some of the older golden demons and eavy metals. I thought they still grew to juvenile status in the ground in Waaahh?
