I've often wondered what intelligent beings from another world
might look like. We so often hear that they may be very different
from us, but there are sure to be a few similarities.
For instance..they came in a ship of some type. It had to be manufactured,
which requires the ability to hold a tool, or to even to build a machine
to hold a tool.
The materials and components of the ship had to be sourced, and refined,
as did whatever fuel they are using as a means of locomotion.
They're brains may be in their arse, but they still have to be able
to manipulate objects.
It's also possible that Earth is so far off into the galactic weeds that we
don't even know about the galactic marketplace for space ride components.
Could well be there is a galactic version of Heathkit out there selling DIY
faster-than-light-speed spaceship kits?

The problem is we could speculate 1million and one scenarios.
But if I was to speculate it would be in contrast of our own civilization as we know ourselves in our short lives, technology is progressively replacing physical manpower. Its not beyond the realms of possibility that over time humans will lose muscle mass because technology in machines and robots have replaced physical labour. Even in our own era we are seeing obesity epidemic because we failing to burn off calories. Partly due to the same calorie intake as a labourer yet more and more earning a living sitting down behind a computer living a sedentary lifestyle. Is that a natural process of evolution? Perhaps this advanced alien society has no need for physical strength because they evolve relying on technology to do physical work for them?
Perhaps we as humans in thousands of years time will evolve to look like them as our technology develops?
Perhaps with our eternal race against the machine AI peoples own brain and head will increase in size over time. Our sedentary live style will eventually withdraw from the physical human characteristics of the past? Perhaps as technology progresses our fingers become more deleterious and longer? We will be surrounded by AI Robots and machines building machines. Since birth rates in western world and sperm count in males is falling. Future humans with most likely evolve into artificial insemination where the birthing process will be produced by machine. Since the process of procreation has been taken over by technology there is no need for sex or gender as both sexes will merge. Since even us are advancing in Genetics over time all over poor character traits can be breed out by AI screen our DNA. Over time our eyes could develop built in sunglasses to adjust to light conditions. Making us to appear to have no eyes but black eyes? Even our imagination will be replaced by logical thought processes where we see the world and universe in a pure mathematical equation? With our body mass losing excess fat muscle our bone structure may change over eons to be able to withstand stronger G forces more accustomed to weightless than gravity.
So perhaps the stereo typical reflection of short sexless spindly hairless aliens with black eyes is with elongated fingers is perhaps our fate in thousands of years from now?
And the process we call evolution is exactly the same regardless of where we are in the universe?
