There are a few Q&As here that lightly touch on aspects of this subject but are woefully incomplete. Some answers and comments mention the timing (in relation to some other species) of the acquisition of FTL and yet others mention the chronological timing of FTL tech for some species but are scattered across the board and difficult to run down. There's no place where it's comprehensively explained who actually developed their own FTL travel independent of outside influence other than Vulcan and Human. Is there anything in cannon that spells out who actually developed their own warp drives? It would be nice to have this info in one place for future reference.

Edit: I understand that compiling a completely comprehensive list of all 180 UFP member species' warp acquisition is near impossible with the limited information available but a summary of what we do know is eminently doable. What prompted the question is that many species apparently acquired the tech through assistance developing it, buying it or stealing it. Just curious who actually developed the tech independently.
