i_am_a_cardboard_box@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the origin of aliens looking like humans? Why and when did it become the norm?8·4 months agoIn my opinion, it’s always been about determinism and convergent evolution. Determinism states that if the cards were reshuffled and evolution were to take place again from the beginning, more or less the same would happen. There wouldn’t be sentient octopuses or hive mind ants controlling the planet, because there are simple evolutionary pressures giving rise to features that eventually lead to more or less bipedal apes.
This hooks into convergent evolution. This is about the fact that features like wings and eyes were so successful in terms of evolution they actually evolved independently of each other multiple times. Eyes evolved in different lineages and evolutionary pathways around 65 times during the history of earth. This indicates that simple evolutionary pressures (like needing to look around) will always end up with something that is a lens based retinal pigmented organ. This deterministic view of evolution leads many to believe that on another planet that looks like earth, inhabitants will look like us due to the rules and constraints of evolution.

The cost of photovoltaics has decreased 60% over the past decade alone.
Of course there is no ‘silver bullet’. But the researchers of the original article still recommend working on projects like these.
Thank you. So many people are still living with data from 1970 in their heads

Fuck that scale bar though. The decimal separator makes it look like the human hair is 10cm thick.
The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high likelihood of its existence.
And this is why they’re absolutely winning. Why are they dominating the entire media landscape and are we just sitting back? Is it only because an average lie is easier to believe in than the difficult truth? Or should we become more angry at them?
