Ha Ha. Ships with robot crews using stored human sperm and ova to recreate humanity on other worlds is a sci fi trope! I think it was Asimov who "first" included that agenda as part of one of his stories.
@@ntal5859Yeah, you need at least one complex grasper that can be used independently of other bodily functions such as mastication or locomotion (as in being able to do either at the same time), but beyond that it's basically unlimited what kinds of body plans a creature could have. If octopi could exert the level of force required to break a stone into a sharpened point, they could start a civilization. If ants could hold spears without tripping over themselves, they could start a civilization.
@@SpitfiretheCat16they do have a civilization some can raised and cattle other insects for nectar the raised insects pooped so they can eat it and some farm mushrooms to eat and other are hunters and gathers
It’s because humans tend towards what they know, as the most technologically sophisticated species on the planet they model images of intelligent life on a similar body plan to themselves.
Starts out by saying similar lifespans and then saying we have pathetically short lifespans. Must have worked out all that ethical angst about AI's and nano/gene augmentation. Still, humans are not a monolithic block. I would imagine a fair few would resist, preferring they remain "natural."

Love this great short story. Thank you for sharing.
Mankind is the collective noun for humans not humanity!
For you….
I prefer humankind.
Why would you share shape shifting ability? That’s too important a ability to tell.
For The Murder Primates! For The Author! For the Channel!
Why is it they have 2 arms, fingers and 2 legs, can't they be like a spider or a cube 😂
