Greetings,
I think neither evil or good alien races would establish first contact with us....... You see any declared first contact with aliens......... will immediately cause unification of human race as a species......... And any hostile action by aliens will effectively establish unification.......... evil races will not establish such contact fearing we might unite and eliminate the aliens...... and good races will not establish contact........ that at our present lvl of evolution we will conquer the galaxy..........
And guys & gals please do not say....... what i am saying is bullcrap.......... because i have seen the power of the united human race.......... and the amount of fear it caused in aliens.......... It appears in Greek legend..... that when Zeus created Human ( Bullcrap)........ first human was so powerful that it almost defeated the so called gods....... that part i believe to be true......... so eventually Zeus was able to control the human by Dividing it....... that part i believe to be true also.........
In ancient time Indian civilization was the largest........ it developed many tech and concepts like zero,etc.......There is Ashok stupa in New Delhi,it is made up of iron..... its almost 2500yr old and haven't rusted yet............... then next true big civilization in ancient time was Greek civilization........ they had developed the knowledge of steam engine and many more tech........ next big civilization was Umiya kingdom in Medieval era.... they developed mechanical computer........ yes you read it right.......... They had #ing mechanical computer that used water.......... They devised the first ever most accurate calender by Humans........though it was never put into practice........ And see in modern time.......... Today our Science growth has stopped or slowed..... It is true we are growing technologically but not by science......... most of technology is based on science developed/discovered during the rule of the Imperial Empires..........
So you see.......... Humans always experienced science growth when they are united as a larger nation...... so just imagine the amount of technological and scientific growth we would experience....... should we unite........ and believe me......... most of the aliens fear that......... So they will try to keep us divided till we destroy each other.......... or learn to overcome our differences....... end game depends on the type of alien race...... one thing is for sure they should fear Humans.......
PROUD TO BE HUMAN...............
Have Fun,
Primus
I still hold by my personal belief that advanced evolution favors empathy.
B) First contact could come from alien A.I. that is hostile. A war like race of Aliens could have sent robotic A.I. that can reproduce itself and create essential structures from scavenged resources to scout for new worlds and strategic locations indefinitely. They may be programed to detect sentient life and access whether they would be a threat. Hell these A.I. could possibly synthesis genetic replicants of species they encounter to study and infiltrate and undermine their society.
To make a long story short the original war like civilization could have died out millions of years ago while this A.I race spanned the universe with the programed objective to eliminate sentient life that is a threat and procuring resources to create new A.I.'s and ships and weapons for the Armada.

Some people have made the argument: "If these people can travel through the galaxy, then why would they bother with the resources on earth? They have a whole galaxy of resources at their disposal"
My answer to that is two-fold:
First, who knows how easy interstellar travel is for a particular earth-visiting race. Maybe they DON'T have the entire galaxy at their disposal. Maybe it was very hard just to get to earth.
Second, who says they are after just resources? As I said in my post above, maybe some alien race is looking for planets very similar to their own to colonize. Earth may be similar in gravity, atmospheric content, atmospheric pressure, and radiation levels -- all very important things. Perhaps in their limited space-travel ability, they rarely find a planet like Earth that they can readily colonize.
