If you are a science fiction fan, you may have noticed that the aliens produced in the works look human-like. Leaving aside the interesting forehead wrinkles or pointy ears, basic humanoid features always come to the fore.
When they are not like us, they seem familiar and sometimes disturbing; For example, they resemble insects, reptiles, or squids.
Of course, this may be due to the limited imagination of Hollywood creators or budget problems allocated for the works. However, it is also possible to say that they unconsciously reflect a scientific perspective. Because zoologist Arik Kershenbaum suggests that life forms on other planets may be similar to those on Earth due to the laws of nature.
Kershenbaum is a College Lecturer at Girton College, University of Cambridge, and an academic visitor at the Department of Zoology. He studies animal communication and particularly the vocal communication of wolves and dolphins.
The argument for this is actually simple: The evolutionary forces and rules that gave us the form we are must also apply to life on other planets. Because the laws of nature are universal. This is the central theme of a book by zoologist Arik Kershenbaum, lecturer at Girton College, University of Cambridge, England.
The name of the book is “The Zoologist's Guide to The Galaxy: What Animals on Earth Reveal About Aliens and Ourselves”.
Arik Kershenbaum, a zoologist from England's Cambridge University, wrote his book The Zoologist's Guide to The Galaxy: What Animals on Earth Reveal About Aliens and Ourselves, in which he wrote his ideas on life on other worlds and the evolution of life, stating that universal laws of nature affect living things on other planets to those on Earth. He states that he will compare it.
