Why are there so many species in the universe that look EXACTLY like humans? --Coop3 ☎ 20:44, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

A. Because the human species is producing the show and it saves money on extravagant costumes and special effects.

B. Because the humanoid body plan of bipedal, upright, no tail, two legs, two arms, one head, etc. (with occasional variations) is very efficient and versatile (it survived till the end of the universe circa 100 trillion), and it is therefore likely to survive and prosper if it appears somewhere.

C. Because some alien species, especially those encountered in the future, may actually have a partial human ancestry. —BioniclesaurKing4t2 - "Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically, . . . run." 22:01, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

Point A is the worst answer. --Coop3 ☎ 23:55, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

Yet in real-world actuality, the likeliest. The Drahvins were easier and more realistic to portray than, say, the Zarbi, weren't they? —BioniclesaurKing4t2 - "Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically, . . . run." 00:03, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

As far as I recall, Gallifreyans were the first sentient Humanoids, in effect creating the standard outline for life in the universe using morphic fields..? That's always seemed to me to be the best in-universe answer. Gallifrey102 ☎ 13:44, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
