->Oddly, though the idea turns up now and then in written SF, TV shows and movies never [[HandWave suggest]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_evolution convergent evolution]] (the principle that different species evolving in similar ecological niches will end up rather similar to each other, as with killer whales and sharks) as a reason why intelligent species tend to share the \\\"humanoid\\\" body structure. It has been compared to how water droplets will attempt to form into the most efficient shape, a sphere, in any environment. It is possible that the humanoid form has enough versatility that only minor variations would be needed to meet environmental demands specific to other planets.
