I would call most intelligent space aliens from movies "deeply human". Which makes sense, they were created by humans to tell stories to other humans. So I guess being human is not a prerequisite to being "deeply human". I wonder if real space aliens, if they exist, are in fact like this. The closest earthly thing we have to intelligent aliens - octopi - are not.
