  The best answer I think is computers. We're arrogant enough to think that we simply "made" these machines, whereas I'm increasingly convinced that they've actually evolved from us. We think they're 'fake' in a way - not real - not natural. Not a part of the scheme of things in the universe.

  If we can't recognise aliens, we probably wont "see" that evolutionary leap coming until it's too late.

  Or maybe I've watched terminator too many times.
