If complex alien lifeforms do exist on other planets, what might they look like? How much would they resemble us? How would they function, communicate, and reproduce? Those and other intriguing questions about possible extraterrestrial life have long interested Dr. Arik Kershenbaum, an Israeli-educated zoologist who lives in the U.K. and teaches at Cambridge University. Dr. Kirschenbaum is the author of the popular-science book The Zoologists Guide to the Galaxy, published in 2020,
Quote: “In the last 50 years, we’ve had really good evolutionary models of how all life evolved and became more complex. Evolutionary rules are universal rules not specific to Earth. They can apply everywhere, a natural extension of why things are the way they are on Earth.”
