Wnen did Humans develop consciousness and realise there is something other than surviving in life.Cave paintings would maybe a good indicator ?

Out in space two alien forms are speaking with each other.
The first spaceman says, "The dominant life forms on the earth planet have developed satellite-based weapons."
The second alien, who looks exactly like the first, asks, "Are they an emerging intelligence?"
The first spaceman says, "I don't think so, they have them aimed at themselves."

There are really no alien lifeforms "hanging around" to save planet Earth Stickleback. Common sense should tell you that UFO conspiracy theories are all bollocks mate.

We may be relying on some friendly aliens to help save the planet or escape from it. Maybe that's why they're hanging around. Perhaps they got lucky and evolved on a planet that had another Goldilocks planet nearby that they escaped to and were able to continue their advancement.

"species of..." would, by definition be a subset of "men". There's no problem with the original statement.

So your timescale, which you now admit was out by 2 million years, was not in fact about “men” but various “species of men”.

I see you can Wiki but not read.
Homo sapiens is NOT the first species of man. The first species of man, homo habilus, was around about 3 million years ago. I plumped for a million, being kind of in the middle and sort of a round number.
You're a fucking idiot.

Hmmm! I started to watch that but got bored after a couple of testimonies.
It's over 20 years old and the bloody aliens are still hiding after travelling across the universe and still aren't stopping by to say "HI" I fucking hate unsociable aliens! Cunts the lot of them
Oh and neither have any governments been prepared to introduce the amazing technologies that will save the planet from global warming and Greta Thunberg...

There was a summit in 2001 when many ex Army, Navy and other US Government departments concerned all got together to present previously covered up information.
Its long, but there is some very interesting stuff.

It should have made head line news around the world and would have done, except for one thing that happened a short while later.

Shouldn’t you get your facts on the Homo sap. timescale right if you want to lecture people about timescales, Pointy?
Absolutely the oldest bone records for anything recognisable as “man” is 300,000 years. And we were always more savanna and seashore dwellers than tree climbers. Or are you talking about some other sub-species that is millions of years old and has a pointy cranium?

I think you underestimate the timescales involved in evolution. Man is barely, if any, more intelligent now than when he came down from the trees 1 million years ago. He just knows more stuff.

Evolution must be universal , survival of fittest which would include intelligence which s helping us to destroy of own planet and more than likely we will be extinct before we have to have the technology to a inhabit another planet
Relatively we know nothing about the Universe about as much as bacteria know about Humans.
The question is is this self destructive evolution by design or by nature

If aliens have been here to look at us, they must be far superior to us in every scientific and technological way, not to mention their intelligence. As they have not colonised us or decided to use our planet in some other way, I deduce that if they exist they can't be bothered with Earth at all and have moved on to somewhere more interesting.

We are a quantum leap away from the stage where we could go cruising around the galaxy studying other planetary civilisations. So by the time we could be someone else's UFO our planet may have already become unable to sustain us.

Good point but we can leave the planet already. Our problem is reaching other planets capable of sustaining human life in reasonable timescales.
I think our bone structure has a tendency to erode in zero gravity too iirc? Years spent travelling to faraway planets is not practical with our present level of knowledge and Earth spec life form.
Aliens are not visiting us. We will not be moving to new planets. We have to stop consuming our planet and start looking after it better!

As if we're the only species in the universe.
We might well be.
There are plenty of credible theories, why this could be the case.
And plenty of credible theories, which support the opposite point of view.
As Arthur C Clarke said, "Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
