Actress Salome Jens played the Female Founder. But she was also in TNG's "The Chase" (i.e. the episode where it's revealed that there was an ancient humanoid species that went from world to world directing the primordial soup's towards the humanoid form).

Nicholas Meyer points out the Federation's "human-ness" in 'Undiscovered Country,' when the Klingons argue the Federation is a "homo-sapiens only club" and taking issue with the term "human rights" being applied to them.
