The proper study of mankind is not merely Man, but Intelligence. 1 —Arthur C. Clarke, 1951 In the long-running television series “The X-Files,” the original Deep Throat said to FBI Special Agent Mulder that “there are those like yourself who believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life.” Ah, but that’s not the question. If extraterrestrial life exists, most of it may be in simpler forms comparable to the one-celled organisms of Earth biology. Finding such life would be fascinating for scientists, but may be of only passing interest to the general public. What intrigues the average citizen is the possibility of contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. We want to communicate with other sentient beings, learning what they know and telling them about ourselves. We want to ? nd out how they are like us and how they are different. Microorganisms don’t have a lot to say. There is another implication of contact that underlies this book: Intel- gent extraterrestrials might have an impact on our future. The information they send us—if any—might change our cultures. They could have c- scious intentions toward us, and possibly the technologies to reach us directly. Their intentions may be benign—or not. Our interest in alien minds is not new. The idea that intelligent beings exist beyond the Earth has been part of the Western intellectual tradition for more than 2000 years. Sometimes this belief was widespread; at other times, it was out of fashion.

From Plutarch and Kepler to Stephen Hawkings and Carl Sagan, this book offers a fascinating history of scientific speculation about life in outer space. Basalla traces an unbroken but twisting chain of ideas passed from one scientist to the next, and from science to popular culture. He even examines the influence of popular culture on science--Sagan always admitted how much Burroughs' Martian novels influenced his speculations about Mars. Throughout, Basalla shows that scientific belief in and search for extraterrestrial civilizations is a complex impulse, part secularized-religious, and part anthropomorphic.

The recent discoveries of extrasolar planets and possible microfossils in Martian meteorite ALH 84001 are only the latest developments in a debate that spans millennia, and that has been especially heated in the twentieth century. From the furore over Percival Lowell's claim of canals on Mars at the beginning of the century to the biological experiments of the Viking spacecraft, the controversial 'Mars rock', and the sophisticated Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) at its end, otherworldly life has often titillated and occasionally consumed science and the public. So too have crucially related areas such as the search for planetary systems, the quest for an explanation of UFOs, and inquiries into the origin of life. The theme has been elaborated in science fiction from H. G. Wells to Arthur C. Clarke, and resulted in some of the most popular films of all time, including ET, Aliens, Independence Day, and Contact. Life on Other Worlds details in a readable and non-technical manner the history of the twentieth century extraterrestrial life debate, one of the pervasive themes of our century.

Astronomers around the world are pointing their telescopes toward the heavens, searching for signs of intelligent life. If they make contact with an advanced alien civilization, how will humankind respond? In thinking about first contact, the contributors to this volume present new empirical and theoretical research on the societal dimensions of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Archaeologists and astronomers explore the likelihood that extraterrestrial intelligence exists, using scientific insights to estimate such elusive factors as the longevity of technological societies. Sociologists present the latest findings of novel surveys, tapping into the public’s attitudes about life beyond Earth to show how religion and education influence beliefs about extraterrestrials. Scholars from such diverse disciplines as mathematics, chemistry, journalism, and religious studies offer innovative solutions for bridging the cultural gap between human and extraterrestrial civilizations, while recognizing the tremendous challenges of communicating at interstellar distances. At a time when new planets are being discovered around other stars at an unprecedented rate, this collection provides a much needed guide to the human impact of discovering we are not alone in the universe.

The Evolutionary Science of Extraterrestrial Life approaches the evolution of simple, complex and intelligent life forms and technological cultures, anywhere in the universe, from a perspective that is independent of any particular environment, whether that environment is the rocky surface of inner planets like Earth or Mars, the atmosphere of a giant gas planet like Jupiter, moons like our own, or Saturn's Titan, or a gaseous nebula. A series of questions must here be asked. What could such a science tell us about simple life forms, about complex, about intelligent life forms and technological civilizations? What physical, social and psychological characteristics would an intelligent life form have irregardless of how or where it evolved? What are the choke points any environment must challenge and defeat if simple life forms are to evolve into complex forms or complex into intelligent forms? Once intelligent life evolves, how inevitable is its rise to technology? What lies beyond technology as genetic and cyborg frontiers are invaded? Most approaches to these questions involve probabilities in the spirit of the Drake equation or get tangled in the specifics of Earthlike environments, the search for water or the specifics of human evolution. Evolutionary Science simply bypasses such discussions. It is a science one applies to an environment - any environment. Evolutionary Science proposes a series of nine, fundamental scientific principles, based solidly on physics, biological evolution and a precise definition of intelligence. Four new Imperatives are proposed that not only discipline but revolutionize any approach to defining the psychological profile of intelligent life. Thebook concludes with the implications this new science has for a number of critical issues - the nature of Life, Artificial Intelligence, biochemistries, the potential for contact, a Galactic Society - and the God factor.
