Aliens are real and they look just like HUMANS, claims top scientist

[Batu69]

University of Cambridge expert says extraterrestrials are 'almost guaranteed' to resemble earthlings - and may even have orgasms

Even better than the real thing: Will aliens be better looking than earthlings?

A top scientist has claimed "we are not alone" and suggested aliens look just like humans.

Biologist Simon Conway Morris, an expert in evolution at the University of Cambridge, said the chances of alien life evolving elsewhere in the universe are "pretty high".

Professor Morris, a fellow at St John's College, Cambridge, sets out his ideas in a new book called The Runes Of Evolution.

In this weighty tome, the Professor discusses a theory called convergence, which suggests evolution may proceed along certain lines rather than being a chaotic process.

If true, this would mean ET is "almost guaranteed" to possess limbs and a head, think intelligently and perhaps even have orgasms - just like us earthlings.

"Evolution is far from a random process," he said.

"If the outcomes of evolution are at least broadly predictable, then what applies on Earth will apply across the Milky Way, and beyond."

Professor Morris said he is surprised we have not yet discovered aliens which look and sound like us, given the immensity of the universe.

He added: "I would argue that in any habitable zone that doesn't boil or freeze, intelligent life is going to emerge.

"And given the number of potential planets that we now have good reason to think exist, even if the dice only come up the right way every one in 100 throws, that still leads to a very large number of intelligences scattered around, that are likely to be similar to us."

-1- Doesn't mean that aliens would look just like humans. Only about planet Earth we know that the DNA double helix has become the genetic material determining the makeup of the cells of life that evolved here. The chance that this helix rules life anywhere else could be zero. Of course there are always people with new theories

Theory of The Double Helix-DNA Universe . But the fact that we may see broccoli in our clouds, doesn't mean it actually grows there.

He added: "I would argue that in any habitable zone that doesn't boil or freeze, intelligent life is going to emerge.

-2- Not human like life. In our solar system the rocky planets are in the habitable zone. In the natural order in star systems gaz planets are in that zone. If life in other places got intelligent enough, then it still can be regularly wiped out by super nova's and other disasters.

-3- As for aliens, it is good to keep in mind that 90% of our universe is still a mystery to us. We have no clue about what is out there and can only be modest with assumptions. Evolution on earth may not stop where it brought us. Adding artificial Intelligence could take us to an existence lasting longer than our present life spans. That would be an area of interest.

Meanwhile, the good professor can entertain his mates in the lunatic asylum. Last time I checked in myself - :D -, it was full of aliens who needed to buy a book.
