Tracker Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 The reality is that, because of very different conditions, life on other worlds is likely to be so different to us that we may not even recognize it as such. Intelligent life needs to have the ability to be able to construct artifacts and manipulate their environment to progress. That implies ability to move, communicate, use tools and so forth. Whether or not this would mean a bi-pedal form is unknown. 19 hours ago, wanna-b-fanboy said: God damn it... i got so excited!
