I would summarize it to two words:



EDIT: On second though... I think that makes for a good avatar!

Probably something like, "hmm, they're just like we were, except [insert crisis here] led us to reform our global policies so that [insert world-threatening problem here] would never threaten our existence again. I guess these guys weren't so lucky."

Then I'd read their internet records and be like, "lolwut, this species is so full of self-loathing, it's almost funny. You'd think a race so aware of its own flaws would do something to fix them!"

I'd pity the loss of a great civilization and mourn them. Clearly this "Humanity" has accomplished great things. While some of them were definitely bad people, a ton of good people died with them.

Zork: Hey, Gork, look at this Olivia Wilde creature.
Gork: She is a fine specimen of the human female, I dare say my mating impulses are being evoked at her sight!
Vork: Gentlemen, we can rebuild her.

[DATA EXPUNGED]

You "people" are nothing more than dirty apes foolish enough to call themselves Men.

Humans are much better than you, for they possess souls, and were made by Us rather than by random chance and a bizarre process you fools call "evolution".

You disgust Us. It is fortunate this world is but a computer simulation of that dark time.

I think too many people are cynical. Especially the ones on The Escapist forums.

well if the were all peacefull and efrything is almost perfect , our violence coud destroy them because if they figure out they can take from others to gain for their benifit then there coud come crime among them and they would be as f***ed up as we were or become or somthing like that.

I think they'd see a deeply flawed, yet amazing and an ingenious race. If the defining human trait is to adapt and to love, then I hope said aliens would clone us back into existence.

Sure we've made a mess of the planet. Sure we're responsible for a lot of death and extinction. But we're improving on a scale never seen in Earths history. We've had millions of breakthroughs in every science we have a field for in this last 100 years alone.

PS. I don't believe we are altering the climate. The climate has always shifted at various ferocity since the planet began. This is no difference. There was a period of warning in the medieval times, roughly 700 years before that, and roughly 700 years before that. It happens, we're just going through a period of warming. The planet changes, and all the people that are constantly 'MY WORLD IS CHANGING AND I DON'T LIKE IT' need to wise up, because increased CO2 emissions isn't destroying the world. It isn't helping it sure enough probably, but it's not the cause.

I think Smith is absolutely right in The Martix. We are a virus for the nature, slowly (but increasingly faster) sucking the life from this planet, so that we have to move on. We suck.

Glass the entire world, lest Jersey Shore or any other reality TV show somehow makes it off the planet. Also, I'd give the dolphins a helping hand in evolution, hopefully making them a hard-working and useful galactic civilisation. Humanity isn't all that great.

That abit hard to say if the said "alien" had a similar histories to us or were better at the decision they made on their planet.
So I pretending to be some alien with a similar history to the human but avoided our mistakes.

"It seen such a shame that they are extinct. They are so alike to us. It seen they had chose the wrong paths on suvival unlike us. Still I will archive their rich history so they won't be forgotten."

Earth excavation site 05 Day 36;

These creatures known as humans that inhabited this planet must of been these other intelligent lifeforms that we have always theorised could have existed in the universe. From preliminary studies we can determine that these creatures, while not as advanced as ourselves, could have been around the same level of intelligence as us. Looking over many of their technological advances we found basic nuclear power facilities as well as other power generating facilities we believe may be using light from the nearest star. Not only that, we had reports yesterday from excavation site 09 that they had discovered a site which contained remains of very primitive short distance space vehicles, maybe if they were still alive we might have actually come across them out in space at some point.

However this species advances where not limited to science and technology. Our scribes have unearthed as vast variety of different cultures and artistic artifacts. One area our scribes are particularly interested in is the variety languages spoken by these creatures. In the short time we have been here we have discovered over a hundred languages (excluding the dialects) existing in written and audio forms. Base on this our scribes theorise that there could have been thousands of different languages spoken by these creatures, and maybe we will never truly know the exact number.

On a personal note I have been continuing my study of the various religions and customs of the humans. Again there is much diversity, although not much has been gleaned of the details of them. However I have found the remains of one book we believed to have been a holy book of one the human religions. The book was badly burned and alot of the text was indecipherable, but what we gathered from the text is that the followers of this book seem to have believed the that the entire universe and everything in it revolved around the number 42. Why they thought this will remain a mystery until we can find an intact copy of the book, I myself am eager to study more on this religion especially on its deity figure Deepthought.

Okay, firstly unless this alien is some kind of hive-mind where everyone agrees with everyone and there is no division and they love the planet and live in mud huts that decompose into unicorns and rainbows, then I bet they are just as bad as us.

Which is to say, not that friggin' bad. Seriously, humanity gets a bad rap I think, sure we've fucked up, we've fucked up loads, but consider out achievements. We activelly spend time, money, resources and our own lives to help others, whether it be with charity, protests or even something as simple as voting for what we believe. We are curious little buggers as well, not content to dwell in ignorance, but instead finding out how things work, and then using these things to improve the lives of others.

Face it, humans aren't assholes. The reason humans have had such a bad effect on the planets health, have had world wars and eat up resources where as animals don't, isn't because the animals are so much better than us, they just can't do those things.

Geez guys, have a little pride in your species, we aren't so bad.
Why on't people listen to this guy? Someone show me a species that has put men on the Moon. Only humanity? There.

I would be appalled.

-They waste natural resources and multiply their population as if they've got 10 more Earths waiting for them.
-They fight wars and blow each other up because they don't agree on the same imaginary supreme being of the universe.
-The greatest of them invent wonderous things... the Internet, fiber optics, etc, but the vast majority of the population use the Internet to post self-indulgent musings on this "facebook," or use its anonymity to annoy each other, or what they call "trolling."
While I admire your "holier than thou" bleeding heart, I disagree. While some of these things may be true, the way you're speaking, it's as if all other intelligent races are better than us; that they don't pollute and cause violence and use advanced technology for entertainment. Did you not once consider that we may be on of the few species in the universe that divulge in art, music, philosophy and charity? We are just as likely to be the best of all possible creatures than we are the worst. Though "Toddlers and Tiaras" and "Jersey Shore" are good arguments against my beliefs.

"Wow those guys sure achieved a lot and were pretty awesome, shame about the ones who never did anything but complain about how shit everyone else was. If only they weren't too busy thinking about how much better they are then the rest of the human race they could have done something productive or appreciated the amazing feats their species had achieved."

Can't really answer as I am human and have a human perspective. I have no concept of what humanity would seem like from an outside perspective, especially if I don' know what that perspective is.

What kind of alien are we talking?, what differs them from us?, what set of values do they have if any?, do they even perceive reality in the same way?.
Reverse the roles then if that helps. Perhaps you are the human discovering an extinct alien civilization. I'm going for the "outsider looking in" approach in this thread.
That would only help if I assumed these aliens had similar values to our own.

Assuming that, then I wouldn't be surprised. Life tends to follow a certain pattern and things tend to repeat themselves.

Everything happens for a reason, however obscure.
