		<description>I dislike the reptile-as-alien bias, but, then again, therapods were bipedal too. If it weren&#039;t for a cosmic collision 65mya, perhaps there&#039;d still be non-avian dinosaurs, smaller versions, probably, that had plenty of time to develop intelligence.

So, assuming a similar course of evolution elsewhere, it doesn&#039;t seem a stretch to me that there&#039;d be a bipedal reptilian humanoid, probably with a prehensile tail (that third, in-the-way limb).

I&#039;ve always figured that if man&#039;s shape is basic (and I do, hey, I&#039;m biased), so are the following:
* Light sensitive organs would be on top
* Olfactory/chemical sensory organs should be on top AND elsewhere (near the ground)
* Pressure/vibration sensory organs should be on top AND near the ground
* Nutrition intake should be on the upper half (let gravity do its magic)
* Excretory organs would be lower
* Communication organs would most likely be on the upper half
* I&#039;ve always thought that the brain is in a weird spot. It&#039;d make more sense to put it in an armored case in the middle of the body.

I figured a &quot;body&quot; with most of the digestive and nervous systems would make the core, supported by two limbs, and maybe a tail, with three appendages: &quot;arms&quot; and a &quot;head&quot; (or maybe combined into two limbs). The &quot;head&quot; would carry mostly sensory organs - two of them would be best! Reproductive organs on the limbs makes sense too, or maybe one or two more limbs for those.</description>
