What would happen if there was another intellegent species?

[Akyra]

A species of animals with similar technology levels to humans. Would we be at war? Would there be racism between the two species? Would they even interact or go their own way? It would be pretty fricking cool if there was another highly intellegent species. Humans would be less...alone. But seriously consider there was another species with intellegence similar to humans. Post what you would do or what you think would happen in the comments.

Racism. Racism everywhere. Also a lot more demand for tailors altering clothes to fit a varied anatomy. Schools would have to be more accomodating to various species, and pretty much everything relating to public facilities would have to follow suit. "Human rights" would have to be adjusted to encompass all sentient species. Religious protests against another species competing with humans for intelligence or general prowess.

Or it could be exactly like the X-Men movies. Except instead of mutants it would br nonhuman sentients.

So basicly humans would just act like the *censored* they all are

[Karric]

i recon that it would be similar for them as it was for blacks in america during pre 1954
i wouldn't treat them like that thou id think it would be pretty cool
but we think we know what our ancient ancestors did with neanderthal kill them all
so it has hep pend

[Akyra]

Neanderthals are humans though...

[HollowOfHaze]

We did kill them off though. Intentionally or not, they died, we lived.

Hopefully modern morals would prevent a reoccurring theme.

[Karric]

i agree completely
and neanderthal aren't humans we are homosapien they are neanderthal although our genetic material was similar because the could interbreed and have offspring

If we had another intelligent species show upnwed donthe murican thing and attack them. We put them in camps and we study them cause thats what we do

[Karric]

i just remembered as well apparently dolphins have the same mental capacity that we had 100,000 years ago don't trust me on that one but i saw it in a documentary

I reckon there would be a war. We would try to make peace, but honestly, that probably wouldn't work, unless like humans get one half of the planet, and the aliens get the other. Either way, there will be casualties to be had.

But, if we were coexisting, i think the more western nations would be very accepting of them. I mean, look at all the *shudders* SJW's we have. There would be most definitely a few people who aren't accepting of them, but those people will very likely be quashed by the government.

[Karric]

i think that that would probably happen if peace was achived

[Ryan Naismith]

That leaves nothing to say about the more eastern nations, however. (Russia, Afghanistan, etc)

[Karric]

true having said that if they whir aliens and not native to the planet Muslims might be ok with it because apparently the quran talks about aliens visiting earth in the future

[Obey138 (Matthew "Fluffy")]

What if they were more technologically advanced than us?

[Karric]

it depends if they are capable of reasoning we would probably make a trade use of earth for their technology or abuse of earth but they teach us all they know but transportation for every person to an equally habitable planet or a massive war
