It just makes you think: how did people create the image that we now think of as an alien from outer space? Pale skin, huge foreheads, and big black eyes; did they get it from some type of special monkey or something? I also happen to find it interesting that they will make the aliens have two arms, two legs, stomachs, skin, and other physical features similar to a human's almost 95% of the time. Is there some history lesson that I've missed, or am I giving one of the best guesses that anyone here can think of for the foundation of our vision of aliens?
