I'm watching Hartnel at the moment, so I'm coming up with stupid thoughts about 1963 and 1964.
In the Daleks Invasion of the earth the Doctor tells Ian that this, what is happening here in the 22nd century is considerably millions of years before they meet the Daleks on Skaro a few weeks earlier.. Of course the Daleks they met millions of years in the Futures didn't know about other life in the universe or space travel or time travel, but there they are in 2167.
I suppose in The Mutants, it could have been so long since they killed everything and everyone else in the universe that they simply forgot that they didn't used to be alone? That's certainly possible?
Non Dalek life is so disgusting to these fellows that memories of such abominations is too inconsiderate a burden to place on them and their children that history and memory might have been rewritten to make everything beautifully Daleky (I'm flashing back to that Conspiracy movie about solving the final answer to the Jewish question.), of course why prepare for the future when you're in danger of contaminating it with merely your own thoughts, that your own considerable knowledge of non Dalek life is a threat tot he peace of mind to future generations? yes, sometimes book burning is a good ideaa to a zealot.
Thus the lobotomies and butchering of their history and race memory.
Of course, that's just if the Daleks won the final battle, because that doesn't really explain the Thals presence in the story? Because if the Daleks did lose, it is all too possible that the last of the Daleks (ad infinitum preserved) might be splayed into a wildlife preserve and that is what the Doctor met in the Mutants? Caged flesh acting out a repeating yet calming scenario to ... O? Isn't that the Matrix? Well, considering the additions to the Matrix Lore in the later movies, that the Machines do come to Zion every couple generations, cull the heard then reset human history to believe that the resistance is only beginning again for the first time even though all the survivors are complicit...
Unless the Doctor offering to build them a TARDIS in exchange for sparing his life, gave them the idea to actually put their inventiveness towards the technology of space time travel and the genesis of their evil is actually in the distant future reaching backwards to a lush universe of non Daleks they have not yet destroyed which destiny then suggests they already have since they already thought they were alone, which is the first of twice the Doctor has let Skaro know that there is life elsewhere in the universe worth conquering. Without his meddling it's a possibility that they would have been content in their belief that there is no life in the twelve galaxies and that's a decent enough sampling to be representative for the entire universe...
