Don't trust the aliens, Anon. Take everything with a grain of salt; it just may save your soul

Think, anon, think.
If you want to use tools you need hands. Part of our brain development happened because we discovered fire and cooked our meals, making them safer and easier to break down for our bodies, to have fire you must live on land. To use tools you need to have free hands most of the time, this will make so that evolution favor individuals who can stand upright for long periods of time.

The nose is above your mouth to avoid eating rotten and smelly food, this is universal, eyes are close to your brain, so on your head, which is separated from your body by your neck so any impact gets softened by the elasticity of your neck muscles.

Any intelligent lifeform, excluding telekynesis using things, will probably look somewhat like us.

>>19554794
I'd say likely.
If there are, then there should be a fair amount living on Earth-like conditions.
Evidence presents that our body makeup is efficient enough, but they would have probably adapted to a simplicity to properly resemble, if that's what they are doing to get around.

To have sturdy appendages, you need to be a vertebrate. To be a resilient macro organism, you need to be able to regulate your body temperature. And on and on.

You can work it the other direction:

Carbon+hydrogen+oxygen+nitrogen->amino acids ->DNA->cellular life->multicellular life->sentient life/animalia->mammalia->bipedal mammals, etc.

Ideas of non-water based life, or intelligent squid... this is all just mental masturbation.

CTH & whites are aliens

>>19554794
I heard some white supremacist/historian whichever way you wanna see it that subsaharan person does not exist but is a conspiracy that could place them as the smartest people. and that the highest genetic boards in the world studies everyones growth there are people who have straight or curly hair in youth and teens and it starts getting kinkier/nappier. They begin developing features. They also study it in asia supposedly. Asians have also seen larger incidences of black features. It may be that they never existed and chose africa to habitate or they exist somewhere else and have begun to walk into our reality.

>>19554986
Also caucasian people with slanted foreheads and hooked noses have been diminishing when they made a majority in many areas and represented ethnic groups, their children, grandchildren are being born with straight noses.

You have to understand how ridiculous that sounds right? I mean if anyones alien or from another dimension it's white people.

>look like us?
Very unlikely. We're a total fluke. Before the dinosaurs were wiped out we were some tiny shrew-like mammal that amounted to nothing but Dino-food. We looked similar to pic related. We were rats scuttling around in holes trying to avoid being eaten.

The chances that life evolved on another planet in exactly the same way as Earth is 0%.

>>19555060
You're a retard, Read the discussion and try again, the most intelligent dinosaurs were atually developing human like hands and bipedal motion already.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_intelligence#Sagan_.281977.29

The human form is this way because it's optimized for tool use and brain protection, the idea that you could have intelligent spiders with no opposible thumbs to hold sticks and make fire with them is absolutely laughable. They could be cold blooded humanoids, or four harmeds humanoids, or have four fingers instead of five, but you would still see enormous similarities, since OUR form is that way because we adapted for intelligence and tools, not the opposite way.

About as likely as them looking like insects or seas creatures, which everyone seems to think is more likely for some reason.

>>19555079
You're a retard. Do cows look like us? Wb Giraffes? Elephants? Er.... Cats? Nope. Erm, oh wait, NOTHING LOOKS LIKE US!

You fucking imbecile. If the dinosaurs hadn't been wiped out we'd still be scuttling about in the shit. Learn something before you shitpost.

>>19554930
>hurrr durrr hands
wtf are you even talking about?

Man this place is full of idiots.

>>19555101
Think of it like this. How many humanoid species from Earth have made it out to space? Now how many squid from Earth have made it out to space?

>>19555090
Do cows use tools? Giraffes? Elephants? Nope. Otters do, and they look similar to us, Apes do it even more proficiently, and they look like us, Crows do, but since they have to use their beaks they are extremely limited.

If dinosaurs didn't go extinct, THEY would probably evolve to be humanoid, use tools and look like us.

Op wasn't talking about just any life form, he was clearly talking about life forms on our level of intelligence, which would HAVE TO look like us, since you start evolving by discovering fire, and to make fire you need A) to be out of water and B) to hold fucking sticks in your hands and grind them very fast against each other, something you need hands and arms to do.

Also, to say that evolution on earth was "a fluke" is stupid, there is a reason why every animal has nostrils over their mouth, eves over their nostrils and a variation of four limbs, and those reason are valid in every planet where intelligent advanced live could develop.

>>19555036
White supremacy...

>>19554794
This humanoid form is pretty much galaxy wide. It facilitates opportunity to learn. The hands greatly increase our decision space. We can choose to help our hurt in more refined ways.

Our progression was never going to be technology. Making artifacts is all well and good but the point of piloting these vessels is spiritual progression.

>>19555101
Yeah, i mean, you could totally become a very intelligent species without hands able to hold tools. You just go from eating shit from the ground to making spaceships with your mind.

>>19555018
Perhaps black ppl are what god wanted for the future of humanity a sensical, simple selfless beings...vs selfish prick..

>>19555115
>Think of it like this.
No, YOU think of it like this. If the dinosaurs hadn't been wiped out we'd have never have had the chance to evolve into humans.

Do you see chimps in space? They have hands and thumbs. How about apes? Koala have thumbs, what about them?

We are a total fluke. End of. You're an idiot that doesn't understand evolution and natural selection. Stop trying to educate others and educate YOURSELF. Think, McFly, THINK.

>>19555134
You're clearly not reading anyone's answers and just keep repeating your dumb mantra. Dinosaurs were already evolving to have hands and use tools, they would evolve to be humanoids and reach space instead. Believe me, you think you know what you're talking about but you absolutely don't.

>>19555134
If there are any technologically advanced alien species out there, it's more likely they look like us than a spider. That's all anyone's saying, you goober.

So, Sagan or Owlcation? Who do you trust more?

>>19555171
So, opinions and what ifs, nice, but even if humans never evolved, that doesn't mean that intelligent aliens wouldn't have arms and hands to manipulate tools, you doofus. What we're saying is that to become an intelligent, space faring species you need to build tools, and to build tools you need hands, the fact that humans could've never existed doesn't disprove that -at all-

>>19555171
>But the fundamental question behind this fantasy is this; would we have managed to evolve in the first place if the asteroid had missed? Well, while it’s unlikely that most modern mammals would have evolved, with us though the situation is less clear, because we currently know of no dinosaur that ever managed to adapt to an arboreal lifestyle, which is where of course most of our ancestors lived and where our nearest relatives still live today.

>In the case of we primates, it wasn’t so much the extinction of the dinosaurs that was crucial to our evolution, but rather instead the evolution of flowering of fruiting trees which occurred during the Late Cretaceous Period. Without a food source as sweet and succulent as fruit and flowers, it’s highly unlikely that we and indeed any of the primates would have ever evolved our forward facing eyes, grasping hands, agile brains and wonderful colour vision, which is crucial for when picking out ripe, colourful fruit in the green gloom of the forest.

So this is saying that humans would've evolved anyway even if dinosaurs never had gone extinct? Nice, so we know that the guy saying that we're a fluke is retarded, thanks for the link.

>excrements release next to reproductive organs causing easy infection
>food and air still go down the same tube to aid in choking

We are the perfect evolution

>>19555244
It wasn't a big enough hurdle to stop us inventing computers.

>>19555244
It's not "perfect", it's just the most convenient, air and food go down the same hole because it's adapted to be the smallest jump from being amphibians, and the belly is the best place to keep a baby, since it has the most space, belly is also where processed stuff goes down to go to your rear exit, that's why possy and asshole are so close to each other. Also, okay, let's say that aliens have a different airway system and weirdly placed buttholes, that's hardly a huge change.

>>19554794
>I tend to be on the side that aliens have good intentions

is that why they kidnap people in the night and sexually torture them?

They look like us maybe because we descended from them.

>>19555060
>It's a "fluke" I look this good?

Trust me anon, I can tell God sculpted me by hand!

>>19554794
What are the odds that aliens that look like us exist? Nearly infinite, or rather. Infinite. Everything is.

Evolution has already been debunked. Humans just appeared here with this form. Possibly other share this form but more likely there are no others of any form.

>>19555115
This is because of squid oppression

>>19555134

The factors that wiped out the dinosaurs were not one-time flukes unique to Earth. They're bound to happen over and over again until a number of species adapt to be able to recover from things like comets, earthquakes, volcanoes, et cetera.

The dinosaurs were wiped out by something that pretty much every Earth-like planet will have to suffer through in its history.

All of you dumbies are forgetting that even if chimpanzees or dinosaurs or squids became humanoid'ish and could use tools that does not mean that if one was walking down the street that we would confuse them for a human.

The idea behind nordics is not that they are humanoid. Greys are humanoid. It is not that they are white either. It wouldn't matter if they looked black or asian or whatever. The point is that they are easily mistakable for a human.

Bipedals maybe, look like us is unlikely.

2 legs and 2 arms is the most efficient form for a species that cam build things so they'll definitely be bipedals.

They'll probably have everything in the same places as humans only the proportions will differ (such a bigger head, eyes etc), kinda like in pic related.

>>19555321
>is that why they kidnap people in the night and sexually torture them?
You know those stories are from Schizophrenics, attention seekers or people who suffer from sleep paralysis. why didn't anyone report UFOs in the 1800s and before? because aliens weren't a popular topic of thought back then, as soon as it got popular people started making up shit for attention.

>>19554794
>What are the odds that there are aliens from other planets that look like us?
Extremely low, but there are a lot of planets so that's a lot of rolls on those odds.

Chimps were in space before humans
