I won't be back until next Tuesday, so if Get Carter is the correct answer, I would appreciate of someone else posts a new cap for me

The following graph from McHenry (1994), plotting brainsizes against time, shows a general trend towards increased brainsize over time for the hominids:

Dammit, wish the most recent part of that chart was more clear. Any link to that -e-?

Secondly, they had fairly small bodies and this could well be because of the Gravitational force of the planet they inherit. The larger a planet, the larger the gravitational force on it, hence if their planet was larger than earth, evolution would have shrunk their bodies to make it easier to move around...

has it occured to you that in the case of humanity....MAN became intelligent.... what if it were a smaller mammal ??
according to what you wrote earlier, a smaller mammal on the same-sized planet would have a smaller brain, thus wouldn't be as advanced as us... unless the smaller mammal had a head as large as ours, because you said only the size of their craniums affected their intelligence rather than the size of their bodies.
but we were talking about the current alien stereotype on your "planet larger than earth"," where they would probably need to have a brain and body larger than the size of a smaller mammal's to be as evolved as "aliens" are made out to be

Re: NASA: Voyager I enters solar system's final frontier
Now here's another idea as to why aliens are portrayed that certain way.
Anybody been to Roswell, New Mexico? Even if you haven't there's something you have to consider about the time it happened (1947):
For people who say that there were no aliens, I ask: Why did technology suddenly take off right after the time this happened?
I visited the museum in Roswell and it laid out a powerful case for the event actually happening and it just being a government cover-up for the sake of world/political stability.
So I'm saying that the reason that aliens are portrayed the way they are is because they actually ARE like that, because they've already been seen.
"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."

am i wrong?
also, since this is a debate on PLAUSIBLE explanations of what can and shouldn't be, make it a healthy convo as opposed to running the whole nine yards with the ball mate...... :P

I get to work at 2pm PT, so I'm usually late to the party.

DUDER.... that fucking link was :Rock On:
Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. A bit off topic but since you mentioned faith, you really ought to check out Wayne Dyer's Power of Intention which airs on PBS all the time. I was so moved by it I shelled out the 160 bucks for the DVD. It does a real good job of relating science to God. But it also fits into the context of every religion. Don't worry its not one of those convert to such and such religion.

ok, so this super race of beings, can make weather changes, move mountains and such, but lacks originality in creating a different looking body type for aliens? surely you jest..
I think E's explaination is probably more accurate, however a thought: What if having 2 arms and 2 legs and walking upright is the most superior design? ie. if these aliens had the ability to choose their forms, is their a design that would be more superior? Look at what humans can do in comparison the other species. Personally the only thing I'd add would be wings and the ability to breathe underwater. Even without the aforementioned look at what we have achieved (we can still fly and go underwater). Having more or less in the appendages department doesen't seem more helpful either.

They ran out of ideas. Hence, cookie cutter pop stars.

My point is: why would there be a mammal on another planet? The conditions on this world i.e. distance from the Sun, air chemistry, water chemistry, weather patterns, are condusive to our kind of life...carbon based life. On another planet, or moon, or whatever, that has an atmosphere of pure ammonia, an ocean of liquid nitrogen and ground made up of calcium phosphate could not support carbon based life. I think that drives alot of people to assume it could not sustain life, in general. That's what I'm most amped on...not so much that there is life, because I'm fairly positive that there is, but what the hell is it going to look like. :WTF:
