Iam "A Quasi-Psychic bipedal primate hivemind that uses verbal cues to
communicate their thoughts to one another and inference to predict what it likely to happen in the future (which is what makes it quasi-psychic). Since the time of our
insemination we have abstracted out the traits of the other animals that share our planet and then crafted tools to allow ourselves to use those traits to survive and make out lives easier (For example, big cat tooth sharp = animal dead, therefore, if I have
sharp tooth I too can make animal = dead and, thus, the creation of the knife). I think that would adequately describe to an Alien race what we are in the most literal sense."
