They won't look vastly different. When you get right down to it, pretty much every creature bigger than a few cells on land is a tube with a mouth at one end, limbs to move it around and a bunch of sense organs near the mouth.
Add in that advanced intelligence would require communication, the ability to create electricity and infrastructure (which rules out undersea civilisations fairly effectively) and the probability of being vaguely like something we see around us gets fairly high.
- jacquesm 10y agoAdvanced intelligence definitely does not require the ability to create electricity and infrastructure. Rather, it's the other way around. If you are intelligent you might be able to figure out how to make electricity and infrastructure. Also, it is perfectly possible to create electricity without being intelligent (the electric eel, for instance).
