As long as they have a discernible language and a semi-cohesive intellect-that's all that matters. -- Posted by Moonscar at 2:42 am on July 4, 2009 Wouldn't it be funny if we turned out to be the least advanced species of intelligence in the universe? -- Posted by kidd rune at 9:53 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from Moonscar at 5:42 am on July 4, 2009 Wouldn't it be funny if we turned out to be the least advanced species of intelligence in the universe?

If they have the intelligence to travel through space like that then they have the intelligence to do other things. -- Posted by Charolastra at 1:24 pm on July 4, 2009 Keep me out of it. -- Posted by telomere13 at 1:24 pm on July 4, 2009 Actually, I think a couple hundred years of selective breeding in chimpanzees would fairly easily get them to a level of being able to perform labor for humans.  I feel like that would be a simpler solution. -- Posted by Moonscar at 1:31 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from telomere13 at 1:24 pm on July 4, 2009 Actually, I think a couple hundred years of selective breeding in chimpanzees would fairly easily get them to a level of being able to perform labor for humans.  I feel like that would be a simpler solution.

If chimpanzee intelligence has as much variance as has been speculated I think that 20 or so generations of selecting for intelligence alone would probably bring about fairly significant change. I can't guarantee it but it's a lot more likely than finding aliens and bringing them to earth. -- Posted by kidd rune at 8:22 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from telomere13 at 11:07 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from kidd rune at 11:02 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from telomere13 at 7:54 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from kidd rune at 5:06 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from telomere13 at 4:24 pm on July 4, 2009 Actually, I think a couple hundred years of selective breeding in chimpanzees would fairly easily get them to a level of being able to perform labor for humans.

The race you select to enslave could have powerful alliances.

Don't worry they'll just call them inferior anyway and then they won't have to worry about it. After all if humans did it to humans what would stop them from doing it to aliens? Those aliens better be more ruthless than us or they're screwed.
