They are products of evolution and, in theory, we'll be very alike in many ways.
- mikeash 10y agoI don't think we currently have a very good idea of how much of what we're like is due to universal properties, and how much is path dependent and wouldn't show up in a completely independently evolved ecosystem.
- marcosdumay 10y agoGreed and selfishness seem to come from evolution in a very robust way. Every time it fails to come a little bit, there's a huge change in some ecosystem or all of them. But then, maybe a species able to colonize a galaxy can only appear as consequence of those rare exceptions. We, as a not completely selfish species are evidence for that.
