Aliens vs Human Intelligence DNA Evolution Science Alien Contact



After so many posts about superstition, greed, violence, thuggery, and abject stupidity... I need one like this as a refresher. I don't agree with all that's being said, but just to hear cogent argument rather than blithering idiocy is refreshing.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is made out of awesome. I'm with you that I don't agree with everything he says, but I do have to appreciate the thought processes. Like, intelligence and DNA differences are two different categories. We would have to compare brain structures to see how much difference there really are (I also think he underestimates apes). But, he does have a point that an alien species would be incredibly inhuman and we should not assume similar intelligence and thought processes.
