It's wild to think that we may be what aliens call "the elder races" or "precursors" or something like that, depending on if we survive that long.
For reals! Then the young races introduce themselves and we demand they dab as an introduction lol
I hope we are more like these humans, in this story.

Man I think it's so damn optimistic that you think we'll be around long enough to be an elder race, or even leave enough of a mark to be called a precursor.
I agree, that's why I added the caveat. Doesn't seem very likely... But it's so interesting to think about
Our elephants may become the precursors, we are likely to just become a thrall race.
