"Beware of Humans". What if we are the most terrifying species in the universe?

[A HERETIC I AM]

I thought this was amusing, as well as interesting;

1. That was a great read, thanks!

Humans! Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!

[Quixote1818]

2. Reminds me of this painting by John Brosio

It's called Two Earthlings and when I look at it I clearly get the sense the human is the dominant species though we are so small and weak compared to the shark.

3. check out the anthology "DANGER: HUMAN" by Gordon R. Dickson

It is exactly what you are looking for.

[Orsino]

14. It may be packaged as THE MAN FROM EARTH.

That's how I know it. Great read.

"Danger: Human!" is the story that sticks in my mind, if I'm recalling the title correctly.

4. If you take your Science Fiction from the movies, yes indeed

Written SF though is by no means so universally chauvinistic.

5. The day Aliens come to the planet...

"We come in piece humans, we are from Alpha Centuari"

Religious nut freaks out, shoots and kills Alien. Mass hysteria sets in, the rapture and armageddon incoming."

Aliens get wipe us out. Yeah like plot from a scifi movie, but come on we all know thats how it would go down.

Like in that movie, Contact.

6. It's a common s-f trope that humans

are not the best of intelligent life out there.

It's an equally common trope that this planet has long been declared off limits to intelligent life because of the inhabitants.

7. We're the best distance runners in the world, properly conditioned

The oldest known firm of hunting involves separating one animal from the herd and chasing it until it collapses from exhaustion.

16. Like this dude;

Ran 50 Marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days.

8. Humans land on a planet filled with Alkaline based beings...

Astronaut: we come in peace...damn, I'm thirsty.

Alien 1: What is he saying?

Alien 2: I don't know, but he's reaching for something.

Astronaut: Ah, water. A little H2O.

Alien 1: Ahhhhh, he's got a weapon!!!

Alien 2: Run for your lives!!!

9. Read Danger-Human by Gordon Dickson.

10. It's holding up a hand of fully-erect HAND PENISES

Humans and their many useless extremities!

[Baclava]

15. I love Fallout - Old World Blues was great

Fallout 4 still in the works for next year

[randome]

11. Something scarier.

What if we are the wisest, most noble species in the Universe?

12. Then the universe is screwed.

[loli phabay]

13. lol, it is funny that in sci we are always the underdog, would be cool to see us stomp the universe

Mayby a new genre of sci fi movie.
