RE: Animal Intelligence and its Implications for Alien Life Part 1: Octopi
a great article and one that I share a deep fasicination with. Octopi are indeed our very own homegrown aliens. I find their chromatophores almost as fascinating. It appears digital, like pixels but when they change colour, it's an analogue contraction and expansion of each chromatophore which produces the colour.. in rapid sequence they are living animations, cuttlefish are particularly amazing in this respec.
you may want to read this article, I wrote a long time ago. It seems that humanoid forms have a decent basis in Universal physics and chemistry.. although it's surely not the only way...

I'll have to give that a read, thanks!
