An alien concept
"Hearing the snapping of a branch, a Paleolithic hunter-gatherer would have increased his chances for survival by assigning the noise to the action of a potential predator and then taking the appropriate precautions. Discovery - wondering whom or what lies beyond our planet - is just an extension of finding out what lies over the next ridge."
That's undoubtedly some of it. Although I once self-psychoanalyzed my own interest in extraterrestrial intelligence as an expression of my guarded fascination with women.
