Simpson, George G. The nonprevalence of humanoids. Science, v. 143, Feb, 21, 1964: 769-775. States following conclusions: (1) there are certainly no humanoids elsewhere in the solar system of which earth is !Xlrt; (2) there is probably no extra- terrestrial life in the solar system of which earth is part, but the possibility is not wholly excluded as regards Mars; (3) there probably are forms of life on other planetary systems somewhere in the universe, but if so it is unlikely that we can learn anything whatever about them, even as to the bare fact of their real existence; (4) it is extremely improbable that such ~orms of life include humanoids, and apparently nearly as impossible that we could ever comm·1nicate with them in a meaningful and useful way if they did exist.
