This concept shows up in Science Fiction, occasionally. Star Trek had both and episode and a movie based on it (”Space Seed” and “The Wrath of Khan”). It also features heavily in the “Galaxy’s Edge” series of books. Other examples probably also exist.

Heinlein touched on it, in an oblique way, 50 years ago. Then there's The Mote in God's Eye.
