I feel I need your permish for this, Anastasia. Whilst I am all in favor of the human culture increasing our spirituality, I have "news" that refutes the ET stuff. So I await and you can advise me to shutta mah mouf if you want.
OK I'll give it a go. In the last pic I saw of an "alien", yesterday, on somebody's website, the creature had human-looking hands. But our hands came from a long line of evolution. The five "fingers" are present in pre-mammals, though they do not do "handy" things. (In the birds' wings they help flight.)
Then we have the four-legged mammals. Their front paws are not used to handle things. They are stuck together (e.g., the lamb, or the horse). The kangaroo who can walk on hindlegs has "hands" that can give a good punch to a rival, but even he cannot pick up and carry anything. So why do we have hands? Because we are primates. Primates lived in trees or at least traveled in trees. Our hnds grasped the branches.
Hence our ability to swing our arms around in a circle., from the shouldwe, known as brachiation. Can a dog brachiate? (No offense, Sparky). No. We have what we were required to have for survival. (Have you seen Ling Ling play the piano? Maybe a feature can take on extra uses.) So a "person" from another planet would not just happen to have hands like ours. Please see wonderful book by Neil Shubin: "You Inner Fish." Thanks, Anastasia.

By the way, your article made me desire a crepe.
I tried the wild berry crepe, it was meh. But there's also a bananas foster crepe that looks divine!
All your comments are welcome, Mary! Or email, if that's better.
