Not exactly new. It was mentioned in the 2nd Nu Who episode, "the End of the World", which Ansela mentioned.
Still...the Doctor did say "eventually", and they probably have technology to get around the issues...
Bloody RTD! In one throw away comment he sets the doors open for hybrid species in Doctor Who canon.
How can I charge Sues with bad biology if canon writers encourage such?

I can't remember which ep, but it's been mentioned that humans have bred with every species they possibly can. That was Lady Cassandra's whole basis of 'purity, IIRC: she was a 'pure' human, while every other human out there had some sort of alien blood in them.
She's likely to claim people with two legs aren't human.
Plus, the way she said it still left open the possibility that the mingling ended with one generation (barring technological interference). The Doctor's latest claim explicitly does not.
