Oh definately. :-)
I'd just come up with a good reason why those things didn't show up in the
fossil record.
Maybe proto-orks tusks didn't fossilize, or their tusks weren't as pronounced.
Then again, that also could explain why there's so many permutations of just
what a mythological Ork looked like. (comparing Tolkien to SR to D&D to
Warhammer, et al.)
It's a good concept though.
