earlier this year, "then the principles that we uncover on Earth should be applicable in the rest of the universe."
Kershenbaum argued that while it's "tempting" to envision alien races who don't have the same cultural interests humans have, such as philosophy and literature, we have to remember that they didn't just spring up out of a vacuum as advanced technological beings. Even alien lifeforms with greater technology than humans, Kershenbaum said, would have "evolved from a pre-technological species.
"If that pre-technological species went on to develop all the things that we have now, chances are that they were built on building blocks that served that social purpose — things like bonding between group members, transmission of information and useful ideas between group members," he told. "A pre-technological alien civilization could be singing and dancing and telling stories just like pre-technological human civilization did, because it serves the same purpose.
It's compelling to imagine other worlds where humanoid lifeforms, in Kershenbaum's wording, are "singing and dancing and telling stories" just like on Earth. And if the laws of evolution are as strong as Darwinists like Kershenbaum and Morris believe, that ups both our propensity for relating to and communicating with aliens — and, unfortunately, for warring with them as well.
