What I want to see is humans being the equivalent to say... Elcor or Hanar.

What we're really good at? Endurance. We can walk/run for times that'd *kill* almost any other land animal on earth. We're in the pursuit predator niche with canines and almost nothing else.

Date: 2012-05-05 11:05 pm (UTC)I don't remember its name anymore, but the series was about an average guy who believed that humanity had to show the aliens we had potential. He takes the heat for a terrorist act his pro-humanity girlfriend was involved in, and the series follows as he tries to thwart plans to harm alien species by the pro-earth group she was part of - usually by himself, since the alien species think we're no threat at all and are barely worth acknowledging.
In case someone else here has read the series and can identify it (I tried googling without success), there was a scene where he was in an elevator and was startled by the elevator computer having a human voice (rather than a computer modulated one), and thinking that it was actually creepy to hear a computer with a non-modulated voice. Another thing I think I remember is one of the alien species were basically big spiders with their front legs being more like human arms.

Date: 2012-05-05 09:48 pm (UTC)Desperate, the humans asked for a few days reprieve to prove themselves. When the aliens got back after those few days, the humans proudly showed them how the warring nations had setup peace treaties and agreed to dismantle weaponry.
Unfortunately, the aliens were bitterly disappointed because they were a warlike race and they thought we should have been building disintegrators or out conquering our galactic neighbours by now, so the peace treaties doomed our race to extinction...

Date: 2012-05-06 03:46 am (UTC)You can make a case for human predisposition toward small-scale violence on the level of a vendetta (that's pretty much what prehistoric conflict was like) but mass violence on the scale of armies seems to be something humans are still getting the hang of.
