We can't write anything actually alien, as we are human, even the things you would say are the furthest disposed of looking or feeling human, are created by the human idea of what something non-human looks like. We, can't make actual aliens. We can only make shadows of ourselves and our thoughts, which are human. The closest things you will find to being non-human are in horror. Horror thrives off the fear of the unknown, things that actually aren't human, but we are still limited by being human. And human fears. Wonder if there's a way to get past being human.
I mean, geesus. Something that breaks our settled definition of what "critical thoughts" is? That'd be the day.
Eh?
In any case, those existential statements you questioned were only referencing the overuse of the word "never" and "impossible". I just sort of overreacted because I see people use it a lot and it actually bugs the dickens outta me, as it's a really bad choice of word. "Take nearly forever." might be more appropriate even. Sorry about that.
Any evidence of our stage before hunter-gatherer no longer remains. With how we develope I'd actually say we started as cannibals, developed to hunters, then hunter gatherers once someone discovered other things edible. We're just lucky to have a lot of edible plants on our world. There's evidence (barely) of our early peoples fighting with the cro-magnons. Whose to say it wasn't racism, or held grudges against the former consumption of the other?
Err. CRAP. Went there again. Sorry.
Sorry sorry, err. Subject change. Linked a couple more people recently. And hope easter goes well for those who even have it and sorry to those who don't... Still too depressing. RAINBOWS SUNSHINE AND BLOODY GOOD TIMES.
