This is a nice article about an arrowhead made from meteoric iron found in Switzerland:
https://ulukayin.org/morigen-arrowhead-bronze-age-meteoritic-iron/It goes into a lot more detail about meteoric iron itself and it's quite informative. I just saw the link to the article on a news aggregate itself, but the website seems like it has lots of good information like this so I think I've found a new bookmark.
Man, imagine being a prehistoric person and finding this stuff. It really would be a legendary material from the gods.

They are saying it's probably from Carpet python poop, well I don't intent to eat Carpet python poop and I don't even know if they are in my area so I should be fine.

>>128633I think that due to convergent evolution alien life would look quite close to the life we have here, so humanlike aliens would be quite possible as well.

>>128634They would obviously be dinosaur based.
But on that note their physiology would certainly be based around the atmospheric conditions. I think the only. destinctive trait would be the existence of developed hands, but bipedal sentient life is just a novelist's wish for relatable scifi characters
No.128636
>>128635Maybe. It's possible that mammals would evolve to become the dominate lifeform eventually anyway. I think environment would also have a lot to do with that, even ignoring atmosphere. Even if the conditions were identical to earth but the temperature was different or maybe the biomes developed differently it might be that Dinosaur like creatures could never become dominant or even that Mammals could never dominate either.
I think that it would be similar in that we would recognise what we were looking at and be able to understand it and we may even have similar looking analogues that exist now or in prehistory but not similar in that it would necessary end up completely like we are now. Though even then, with how vast Space is there is statistically bound to be a planet like us out there somewhere even if it's not the norm.
But then we also don't know what non-Avian dinosaurs would evolve into given enough time(or even Avian ones for that matter), it might be that whatever the dominate group is eventually if given enough time intelligent bipedal life will develop. Or again, maybe the opposite and we are the product of some incredibly unlikely evolutionary circumstances and maybe life could only develop to something near human but not human enough to form a society like we have done.
