Brin: Uplift at Star Trek

[Alberto Vieira Ferreira Monteiro]

Watching a Deep Space 9 episode, something caught my attention.

Quoting from:
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Vorta#History_and_Politics

  The Vorta believe, perhaps apocryphally, that they previously 
  existed as small, timid, ape-like creatures living in hollowed-out 
  trees to avoid the many predators on their homeworld. A group 
  of Vorta hid a Changeling from an angry mob, and in return the 
  Changeling promised that one day they would be transformed 
  and placed at the head of a vast interstellar empire. The 
  Founders fulfilled this promise by genetically changing the 
  Vorta into humanoids and employing them at the highest 
  level of the Dominion. (DS9: "Treachery, Faith and the Great River")

Is this an Uplift rip-off?
