    A fairly small number of known species evolved to the vaguely humanoid form, but 100% of known species with a human level of higher intelligence have had roughly this body plan, it’s really not unreasonable to extrapolate that this could be a common body plan for intelligent aliens.

      Taken more seriously, having the evolutionary background to have:

      • fine control over your limbs, like fingers
      • 3D-thinking (throwing) and manipulation
      • cooperation

      another human-like civilization is pretty unlikely.
