they might look like this

I got thinking, I hear david wilcock and all those people saying how every civilization in the universe will look like humans, I think this is stupid. I would think there are races that look 120% foreign to us. What do you guys think aliens would look like? Different DNA structure, throughout different galaxy’s? Natural selection for different animals across the galaxy/universe, might cause intelligent looking dogs, cats or whales perhaps? Maybe an underwater civilization, consisting of evolved dolphins, or whales? Mabey even a very rare civilization that can live right beside a star, living off different molecules instead of water, oxygen? I know it is 100% impossible to know, but what do you guys think of different life forms in this galaxy?

There was this show on some years back...discovery channel perhaps, where they had some biologists and cosmologists on discussing this.
...all depends completely on the unique environments of the planet...

Assuming that Extraterrestrial Life was even Carbon-based (which it is actually more likely to be Silicon-based), then besides simple bacteria and single-celled organisms, complex alien life would more likely be Saurian or Insecta.
The evolution of Homo Erectus as the predominant species on our planet was entirely a fluke of nature, not a matter of mathematical probabilities. The idea that aliens would be bipedal, have opposable thumbs, along with other human characteristics, is almost ridiculous. It's about as ridiculous as the anthropomorphism we commit of our deities. The only rational explanation for such a belief in humanoid alien life would be if one were to subscribe to the seeding or genetic engineering of humankind in the likeness of an alien species.

Mathematical probabilities, assuming an Earth-like environment (which is mathematically improbable) nature would more likely evolve Saurians or Insecta to predominance. Cockroaches are the most "perfect" of species on our planet. In a parallel environment, it would be more likely that Cockroaches would evolve to predominance for example.

However, Earth has a very narrow tolerance to sustain Mammalian life. It would take very precise similarities to allow Mammalian life on other planets which isn't very likely. However, Insecta especially are far more resilient to variances in habitability, allowing far many more planets which could potentially sustain that kind of life. Bacteria even more so, being able to actually thrive in the most hostile of environments, even if just in a dormant stage.

Of course, most other planets are going to have different atmospheres, different tolerances, different building blocks for life. We couldn't even begin to imagine a Silicon-based lifeform, let alone a Methane-based one!
