Central to human creativity is the projection of human qualities upon the external world. On the other hand, so subtle is the latter's mode of operation and so all-persuasive is human nature, that it persistently generates a mode of thought which, although fallacious, exerts a tremendous hold over us. Several examples - schemas, technologies, stories, evolutionary "ladder", contingency - reveal the impact of the resulting anthropomorphic fallacy. It casts serious doubts upon any presumptions as to what extraterrestrials should be like.
