I disagree with your comments about t...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />I disagree with your comments about the "cartoon aliens" seen in Anderson's story "Honorable Enemies." I do not think it is unreasonable or unlikely that some, even many non human intelligent races will also have humanoid forms. For the simple reason that I think evolution on many planets may well parallel what happened on our Terra. That is, evolution freeing forelimbs in some species to become arms and hands, a head with eyes, mouth, breathing orifices, etc., on top of a torso.<br /><br />And I don't expect all non human intelligent races to have humanoid forms. Some may well be centauroids, like the Wodenites. Or even be flying races like the Diomedeans or Ythrians.<br /><br />Frankly, fascinating reading tho GENESIS is, the inorganic intelligences we see in that book are not my ideal!<br /><br />SeanSean M.
