gollark: They might be. You're only seeing the best/most important people around on Earth, who are more likely than average to have bloodlines.
gollark: It would be interesting to know exactly why the "system" is way more concerned with human-recognizable things than our laws of physics, and also why basically everyone is humanlike mentally despite entirely different evolutionary paths. Unfortunately, all the fictional things I know in this sort of setting just handwave it.
gollark: Ideally, pylon-of-civilization-hunting von Neumann machines, but those might not be practical yet.
