(i.e. opposable thumbs) Over thousands of years of evolution we have learned to do to so many things with our opposable thumbs.
In regards to the scientific community, what seperates humans from chimpanzies
or dolphins?
if their are aliens would they not already have biological tools ready at their display?
Would they not have a specific D.N.A. strand assosiated with ambition?

As to your other thoughts, humans evolved over hundreds of thousands of years, we were not created by GOD as there is no such thing. We may have been genetically altered slightly by aliens.

Why? I compare limbs to tools.
(i.e. opposable thumbs) Over thousands of years of evolution we have learned to do to so many things with our opposable thumbs.
Why think its a requirement tho? I think that is a requirement for basic adaptation in the world we live in based on the fact that we have had predators that we had to defend ourselfs against. Plus the fact that we have had the abilty to climb like a monkey to avoid escape from predators wanting what we have killed.

Their brains
or dolphins?
Lots fo stuff

It makes sense, but there are lots of ways to have and use tools, no reason why it'd have to be something shapped like man.

Since humans don't, why should they? Their is something that seperates us from a chimpanzie, but base on D.N.A. it ain't much. In in the world of monkeys the greatest ambition is sex. Our ambition is too make more money or to outsmart the opposition, which I think is immature.
