most advanced alien race in the universe. Think of all the
random factors that went into making us. The mammalian brain,
the diet of meat, the opposable thumbs and much, much more.  It
is conceivable that we are the aliens and we are going to be the
ones who finally find extraterrestrial life and elevate them to
our level through the use of biology or monoliths.  We may well
end up being the stuff of legends through the universe as the
first great galactic civilisation who brought other alien life
to our level through our enlightened technology or we may even
colonise hundreds of other worlds and spontaneously die out,
leaving behind a legacy of technology and ruins.  Humanity likes
to think of itself as a small part of a greater whole but
chances are we are the forefront in scientific evolution, and I
find that possibility magnificent. #179 to #18 - anonymous

we can do that. Yeah, sound
