Titanium since i am buttforget nowhere lost in my mind and the 6th dimension i have troubles traversing my perception to even come up with a substantial was to even think that i would even go there in favor of want to that, so I will just ask this question.It'd depend entirely on it's environment. If I ever planned on accurately creating such a creature, I'd have to invent a whole world first.
If you could come up with an intelligent life form, what would it be/look like?
It's not like two legs, two arms, upright body, large head, 2 eyes, 2 nostrils, and 1 mouth is really that specific of a creature. Hell, you could argue if Earth's animal species are so varied, why can't other planets have different variations that may be equivalent to Earth's?Yes, this.
titanium, you dumb.
"resembling humans"
No.Still need some clarity.
Unless I'm missing something about?, they who? are saying that all intelligent extraterrestrials would be resembling humans.
No.

No.Reminiscent what

okayOkay, what's the purpose of this brown townogy?
take a human
and give it 88 more legs
it would be a 90 legged human
and have 90 legs
A practical body shapeNow this?
if bipeds had feet they would be bipeds with feet and thus have biped feetThis isn't your actual argument right? This is a joke, right?
ok, birds are bipedal because they have two feet. if a fish comes to earth we won't know about it because it's a loving fish.Okay, what's the point you're making again?
Two legs?
Two legs are not the fastest thing in the world.
They're more practical
HOW
In fact, we are a lot less balanced in some ways.
Ever heard of a cheetah?
They have to run fast because that's their only way to catch food.
BECAUSE ALL LIFE EXCEPT INTELLIGENT LIFE NEEDS TO BE FAST
Birds can fly.
I eat birds. 2 points to team humans
THAT IS A REFERENCE TO HUMANITY'S INTELLIGENCE. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT THEY LOOK ANTHROPOMORPHIC.
Being able to have "smooth and fast running" is completely irrelevant, anyway.
Like I said, it's the most practical.
PRATICAL FOR WHAT WE DO
Life can have a completely different setup to accommodate its needs for energy. Think from the very bottom. Will arms, legs, eyes, fingers, will they evolve in every environment, evolve the same way?
Not exactly, but that's not at all what I was implying
WHAT WERE YOU IMPLYING...?
The human hand is one of our defining characteristics. It can grip things very effectively.
There are innumerable other ways that good handling can be made.
I understand this
THANK YOU. I THINK.
Imagine a tentacle with a tentacle spiraling out near the end, making a sort of grip.
Or, perhaps, like the Eosapien, tentacle-like "fingers" that can grip things in ways far different than the human way.
Tentacles would barely work on land
I NEVER
loving
SAID SO
Octopus tentacles grip things very strongly and perhaps very finely, perhaps even more finely with some tuning.
What if there were no legs to begin with? What if it was an aquatic ecosystem that had no legs in the first place?
There's no reason for intelligent life to evolve underwater.
THERE'S TNOT REAOSN THAYT THEYS SHOUDLNY
What if manipulation came from other places, a tail, perhaps, there are many, many, many ways things can work.
I know this
Again, you're basing all life off of chordates.
There is their environment, but if their environment favors such qualities, they sure as hell can develop them.
