Meaning of the word humanoid. Strange humanoids of distant planets

Space is diverse and has many faces. In addition to humanoid races, very similar to us, in the vast cosmic worlds There are humanoid intelligent beings whose appearance can shock and frighten unprepared observers, i.e. cause an inappropriate reaction. There is no need to be afraid of their appearance, and even less should you look for enemies. It's just that we and they are different.

Sometimes the appearance of these humanoids is so different from the species we are used to (normal in our understanding) that it is difficult to find comparisons and at least some analogies. They differ in everything, just as, for example, land and sea mammals differ. And here the phrase “abnormal species” is inappropriate, because nature has made sure that the new form of an intelligent creature is maximally adapted to its natural habitat. Therefore, a negative reaction from an observer can only indicate a lack of experience and knowledge of the diversity of nature, and not something else.

What is the unusual feature or “strangeness” of the aliens in question? You are now about to get acquainted with two such civilizations.

The first humanoid civilization (SCI level) lives on the planet Dotumi, in the constellation Lyra, a distance of 120.8 sv. years. Planet Dotumi is smaller in size than Earth (about the size of Mercury). The climate is very hot, the planet is illuminated with scorching light by an orange star. The sky is greenish. The surface is rocky, semi-desert. There is sparse vegetation and few animals. Full turn The planet travels around their sun in 180 days.

The humanoids have an inhuman appearance and a huge height of 3-4 m. The head is large and round, disproportionate to the body, covered with short and protruding red hairs with a copper tint. The face looks flat and expressionless, the skin is light. The eyes are like empty plates without pupils - these are heat receptors. (Fig. 1).

The creatures are bisexual. The male individual who made contact is called Cannae, and the female individual is called Linnaeus. They live 200-300 years (in one incarnation), i.e. The age of 90 years is equivalent to our 30 years.

Humanoids live in the material world, but do not belong to protein life, although nucleic acids, such as in humans, are also present in their body cells. The composition of the bodies includes mainly silicon, there are compounds of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and other elements. But these elements do not make up the amino acids that make up protein. Their amino acids exist as if independently.

The aliens' worldview is completely different. They see" the world special cells distributed throughout the body. The eyes are essentially transformed into heat receptors that respond to heat or cold. Humanoids do not distinguish smells, like humans, for example, and have difficulty recognizing what it is.

But their hearing is extremely developed. They “hear” huge ranges of sounds and spectra of different radiations, but not with their ears, but with the sensitive cells of the body. The direction of the source can be easily determined by the sound. In practice, they live in a world of sounds, and at the same time they can hear one sound with their left hand, and with their right hand - a completely different one, distinguishing each of the general noise.

The aliens recognized that the Earth sounds very loud, and at times they have to use protection from our harsh and unbearable sounds. Sounds on Earth cause them pain. They also don’t experience taste sensations, but they understand with their minds what it is, watching people. The body is equipped with good thermoregulation, and humanoids can easily tolerate local heat. They eat artificial food based on minerals, supplementing this with artificial energy supplements. The food is much more modest than the human menu.

The social structure of society is completely different - states with borders do not exist. Cities occupy small areas; they do not have as many inhabitants as ours. From an environmental point of view, this makes more sense. The cities are connected to each other by air transport lines and, although they are located at a considerable distance from each other, residents can easily move around the planet in any direction and without any restrictions. There are dwellings that are completely different from those on earth, which protect from the hot climate.

In their homeland, humanoids are dressed in light, loose-fitting clothes that completely hide their figures. The color of clothing can change every minute, like a chameleon outfit, from dazzling white to lilac and blue in different shades, shimmering with moire tints. Probably, the color of clothing expresses the state of humanoids at a given moment in time or is associated with some other external reasons.

Dotumians live in families - clans, and in our understanding they do not have children. Prolongation of the genus occurs through cloning, which produces individuals of the same sex. When cloning, the gender and appearance are repeated. Reproduction of humanoids can occur in another way. An individual is created with previously known indicators of external form (usually the parent forms serve as the initial indicators). Then, by agreement of the parties, the gender of their “child” is determined. A young individual goes through significantly more stages of training than is customary on Earth.

Their life is not easy, their living conditions are limited by poor raw material and energy resources, which are no longer enough on the planet (by the way, all civilizations of the SC I level face similar problems). Therefore, humanoids are forced to develop raw materials on other planets, moving for this purpose from the planet Dotumi to neighboring planets that are not very suitable for normal life. They travel and work a lot. But despite all the difficulties, they do not plunder other people's resources. There are very strict rules and strict measures to curb irresponsible exploitation (especially regarding other people's resources).

Civilization is part of the galactic community and follows all the rules approved by it. The Galactic Commonwealth helped in the formation and development of this civilization. Almost all of them depend on the assistance of the commonwealth. Humanoids settled on the planet Supreme Intelligences, just like people were settled on Earth.

Before visiting planets like Earth, humanoids undergo special training. They began to fly to Earth relatively recently. They have near-planetary and space vehicles of a technical type - ships with a two-story house. The flights of these transport vehicles are accompanied by a buzzing sound and a yellow glow around the body.

The Dotumians do not consider their civilization to be strong and powerful, but the aliens contribute their fair share to the work of the main curators of the Earth, prepare earthlings for contacts, and establish diplomatic and simply friendly ties.

They communicate with people telepathically (thought forms) or through a special device - an electronic thought translator (thought converter into sound words). The attitude towards humanity is tolerant and friendly. Telepathic and visual contacts were noted in Kamchatka, near the Krutaya hill, in August 1991. Contactor A.G. The main alien bases were in the Pacific Ocean.

Another civilization has reached approximately the same level of SC I (close to SC I), but has more advanced aircraft at its disposal. Humanoids live on the planet Suxon (stellar sector unknown). The composition of the atmosphere is generally similar to the earth's atmosphere - oxygen and other gases are present. Humanoids breathe oxygen. The surface of the planet looks artificially leveled, leveled, like a blue skating rink filled with ice. The relief is unusually smooth, without holes and hills, there are practically no unevenness (which cannot yet be explained by us).

Tall trees up to 25-30 m grow here, forming sparse park-type forests. The gray trunks of some trees are abundantly covered with intricately curled pretzel branches of brown color, devoid of leaves. Other trees resemble conifers (spruce or thuja), colored in an unusual purple color, and with many spines at the ends of the branches. Here you can find reservoirs filled with water of an unusual... raspberry color, like raspberry syrup. Moreover, the liquid is opaque and evaporates quickly as soon as you take it in your palm. Everything around looks blue: pale blue sky and dark blue landscapes, crimson “blots” of lakes. The lighting is uniform, matte, as if emanating from the entire space. Objects and trees on the planet do not give shadows (we experience something similar on a cloudy day). For some reason the planet is not illuminated by the sun and has its own illumination.

Humanoids living on the planet have a non-human appearance. Height is 3 meters, the round spherical head looks disproportionately large in relation to the body, the eyes are white, like saucers, and empty. The face does not express any emotions. The skin is beige-pinkish, dark (in color - like beech wood). In place of the mouth and nose there are three small holes, located one above the other in a row.

Another very unusual feature of humanoids is the structure of their hands and feet: they have only one finger on their hands and feet. From here the limbs look like the legs of a compass.

The humanoids look like twins - they all have the same face. It is possible that they reproduce in a similar way - by same-sex cloning (like the residents of Dotumi Square). They communicate with each other telepathically, through thought forms, and during close meetings with a person they use an electronic translator.

Very compact dwellings resemble capsule-balls with a flat base, attached to the ground with a flange. The color is bright orange. As it turned out, each sphere with a diameter of 5 m is intended for the residence of one individual, and there are no window openings in the walls, there is only an entrance door. These round dwellings are collected in random groups, where no order in the layout of the population can be discerned.

It is also possible to see the attire of the humanoids: all spaceship pilots wear gray light caps on their heads (like swimmers), and their torsos are dressed in green tight overalls. Each of them had a device in the form of a metal plaque on their pink waist belt. With it you can control the ship and negotiate with people (thought translator).

Spaceships have a universal purpose - they are capable of flying from planet to planet, from one star system to another, and also landing directly on the surface of planets. The apparatus is 20 m long and 8 m in diameter at its thickest part. Its shape resembles an inflatable balloon of irregular configuration. (Fig. 3). The silent flight of the ship is accompanied by a bright light red glow environment(air ionization).

In the landing position, it hovers motionless above the ground at a height of 20-25 m, while the body no longer glows and looks matte, blue-blue from the outside. An opening appears on the hull of the ship, and a humanoid descends along an orange beam that extends like a tentacle to the ground. All this happens in complete silence. The beam extends slowly, and also slowly, and the humanoid descends along it at a speed of 1-2 m/sec. Touching the ground, he presses his single finger on the device hanging on his belt, and the door and the light beam disappear. The same device is used for negotiation purposes. A person hears the alien’s dull voice echoing in his head, as if through a pipe.

After the alien offered to fly to visit them, the witness had a chance to visit the ship and observe with interest the life of the aliens. Climbing on board takes place along the same elevator beam. A few seconds later, the surprised passenger found himself inside the capsule ship. The interior follows the external contours of the ship, since its walls are quite thin. The control panel and any items are missing. The ship can be controlled by a single humanoid through a portable device on the belt.

Usually, aliens arrive on Earth in groups of 6-8 people. Inside, the ship is illuminated in an incomprehensible way: the walls inside have the same color as the outside, and seem to glow themselves, without requiring additional lighting sources.

The doorway “overgrows” quickly, without traces, and also suddenly appears in the same place, demonstrating the aliens’ excellent ability to control the state of matter by electronic means. The flight to the planet lasts several minutes and resembles typical teleportation. There were no vibrations, floor swaying or unpleasant sensations. The ship moves in space with its thick part forward; at the final stage of flight, the front part becomes transparent to the width of the window. Through the transparent shell of the wall, the approaching blue planet Suxon became visible from the black abyss. The entire visit to the planet lasted no more than an hour.

Residents show discreet curiosity towards guests and treat people with trust. They don't seem to be afraid of us. They rarely fly to Earth; they are still little familiar with impulsive humanity. The hyper-emotionality of people allows them to get to know us from all sides, both positive and negative.

Close visual contact occurred on March 15, 1997 in a village in the Non-Black Earth Region. Contactor - schoolboy B.A. (studied in 8th grade). Based on the eyewitness's description, the planet Suxon appears to be an artificial planet or an extremely "redesigned" planet. On natural planets where river erosion occurs, the topography should be dissected, uneven, divided by a hydraulic network into hills alternating with depressions.

TO HOME

The word “humanoid” is derived from the Latin “humanoides” - the likeness of a person. IN English language This word even refers to anthropoid apes due to their external resemblance to humans.


In our country, by humanoids we usually mean only intelligent creatures that resemble humans in appearance. Since such things now exist only in science fiction literature, the word “humanoid” is used mainly by authors of science fiction novels.

However, in an ironic sense, it is often used to refer to certain homo sapiens who have lost their human appearance due to the habit of using alcohol and other mind-clouding substances.

How did the concept of “humanoid” arise?

The term “humanoid” has been used since 1912, when the word began to denote fossil remains found by archaeologists that resemble human skeleton, but not coinciding with it in some respects.

Today, most such finds are considered to be either fakes made for the sake of creating a scientific sensation, or errors of classifiers.

Although it must be admitted: among the archaeological finds there are many artifacts that make you think seriously.

Ningens

But even today interest in humanoids does not dry up. Moreover, by them they already mean not only, but also the inhabitants of the depths of the sea.

Thus, in the last decade, Japan has been filled with evidence from whale researchers, supported by numerous photographs.


On them you can see strange creatures that live in the ocean and look like humans. The Japanese called these creatures "ningen", which means "man".

Ningens, according to eyewitnesses, are large cetacean creatures that resemble people. Almost all storytellers claim that the Ningen’s head is similar to a human’s, they even have a face.

The upper limbs in some stories resemble hands, in others they are more like flippers. Instead of lower limbs, ningens have a tail, like a whale's or a mermaid's. However, the size of the creature, reaching 20-30 meters, is noticeably different from human ones. The skin has White color.

The vast majority of encounters between whaler sailors and ningens occurred at night, so not everyone was able to obtain photographs of the creatures.

Most of the photos actually contain some creatures or objects that vaguely resemble a human figure, but they are clearly not suitable as evidence.

However, journalists claim that high-quality photographs are at the disposal of the Japanese government, which does not want publicity so as not to disturb the general public with the facts of finds of marine humanoids.

Humanoids in the Vedic tradition

The ancient Indian religious and philosophical concept not only is completely calm about the idea of ​​the existence of many humanoid races in the Universe, but also directly states: they exist, and there are many of them - about four hundred thousand.

Imagine: four hundred thousand different civilizations, and the vast majority of these intelligent beings are at a higher level of development than humans and have much greater body capabilities.

Thus, most humanoids, according to the ancient Vedas, have paranormal abilities, which are called siddhas. These siddhis include:

- the ability to communicate with each other on a mental level, without using voice apparatus;

- the ability to see and hear what is happening at considerable distances;

— the ability to fly without the use of apparatus (levitate) and carry heavy objects through the air;

- the ability to teleport objects and move themselves over significant distances, including to other planets;

- ability to move in Parallel Worlds.

It also tells about other, no less fantastic siddhis that some races of humanoids possess. Moreover, some of them have incredible physical and spiritual perfection, while others are terrible to look at and bear little resemblance to people.

In ancient times, as the Vedas tell, most of our planet belonged to other races of humanoids, between whom cruel wars were fought.

Many of the races live in neighboring, higher-developed dimensions and can appear on Earth unnoticed by its inhabitants.


Whether this is true or not, we may just have to find out. The Vedas claim that humanoids at higher levels of development will come to people when the human race reaches a certain level.

Perhaps now representatives of humanoids are secretly observing our lives, and their flying saucers are indeed noticed from time to time by residents of different continents.

(according to science fiction) - a non-human intelligent being with the physique, physiology and, most importantly, morality inherent, or at least close in significant details, to a person. In contrast to a humanoid, a non-humanoid is a fantastic intelligent creature possessing non-human intelligence, logic and morality, for example, thinking spiders that feed on people, antipodes of protein life forms, etc. It turns out that in the world around us it is quite possible to distinguish non-humanoid things (systems) - these are systems that have their own “logic of existence” and “interests” that do not intersect in positive attitude with the interests of man and humanity. These things must include: the Universe itself, Nature and the Biosphere - standing above man and determining the order of things in the world. The same things must include: society, civilization, cultures, art, technology and many other things that are, to a large extent, the result of the activity of the human mind (intellect) and that are usually classified as humanitarian areas of activity and knowledge. IN last years More and more information is emerging that allows us to say that non-humanoid tendencies are beginning to prevail in the process of development of life on Earth. Associative block. It is also a paradox (?) that humanity itself is, oddly enough, a non-humanoid system.

Definitions, meanings of words in other dictionaries:

Big dictionary esoteric terms - edited by Doctor of Medical Sciences Stepanov A.M.

Many modern people are convinced that we are not alone in the Universe, despite the fact that there is no evidence of intelligent life on other planets. However, human imagination is very sophisticated; it not only populated the objects of the Universe with imaginary inhabitants, but also divided them into races and figured out what each of them looks like. This is how a humanoid appeared - this creature, an inhabitant of other planets. The article suggests getting acquainted with the peculiarities of the meaning of this word.

Definition

So, if we proceed from the fact that other planets are inhabited by certain ones, then they should have their own name (by analogy with people, who are called “people”). Let's find out who a humanoid is according to this interpretation.

This is an alien appearance very reminiscent of a person, but at the same time possessing a number of distinctive features. Most often this is:

1. Head disproportionate to the body.
2. Pale skin of an earthy gray or beige hue.
3. Absence of ears, hair, eyebrows, eyelashes.
4. Huge eyes without pupils.

Sometimes other characteristics stand out. So, these include the absence of sexual characteristics, communication with each other through telepathy, mastery of hypnosis, with the help of which these aliens abduct people for their experiments.

Based on all this, we will draw the first conclusion: a humanoid is an inhabitant of another planet, possessing sufficient technology to perform space travel, whose appearance is very reminiscent of a person, but also has a number of differences, and has hypnosis and telepathy. Such a definition reflects the species and genus (alien (genus) and humanoid (species), distinctive features and specifics).

Characteristics of the word

Despite the fact that a humanoid is an alien from another planet, the word is completely earthly and obeys the laws of the Russian language (or others, if we are talking about a foreign culture). Let's highlight its characteristics:

• Noun.
• A common noun (although in some cases it can also act as a proper noun, if, for example, a kitten or a domestic iguana was called Humanoid by inventive owners).
• Masculine. Note that in the Russian language, many masculine words meaning persons also have a feminine version (“schoolboy” - “schoolgirl”), while the word “humanoid” is used in relation to both male and female creatures.
• Varies according to numbers and cases.

Specifics of use

Here are examples of use in speech:

1. Humanoids are inhabitants of other planets who may occasionally visit Earth.
2. You can often read fascinating stories about humanoids in science fiction books.
3. Even if we do not believe in humanoids, this does not mean that they do not believe in us.

In addition, we note that the word can be used by native speakers in a figurative sense. So, speaking about an eccentric person who behaves differently from everyone else, we can say: “This humanoid is again up to stupidity, he’s been doing nonsense all day. No, I wish I could teach you lessons!” It is clear that in this example we are not talking about an alien, but about a person who, however, deserved such a description by his behavior.

When considering the concept and definition of the word “humanoid”, one should draw a line separating it from similar words, which are not synonyms. These are "alien" and "extraterrestrial". So:

• An alien is an inhabitant of another planet. He may not resemble a person in any way (remember, for example, the film “Alien” - it features aliens). In addition, he lives on his own planet and may not be at all interested in Earth. People become an object of hunting for him only if they themselves end up on his home planet.
• Alien. This is also an inhabitant of another planet or galaxy who made an interstellar journey and ended up on Earth. Let's take the movie "The Thing" as an example.
• Humanoid. This is one whose features resemble a person. A classic example is the “gray” men from the series “The X-Files”.

So, let's briefly summarize: an alien is an inhabitant of another planet, an alien is an alien who has arrived on Earth. A humanoid is an alien that looks like a human.

History of the term

The word came into the Russian language from Latin primary sources, in frequency, from humanoids, “resembling a person.” Let's find out how the concept of “humanoid” arose. This happened in 1912, when it became necessary to somehow name the remains of skeletons discovered by archaeologists that were similar to human ones, but were not human.

Therefore, for the first time the word was used in relation to completely earthly and real objects; only later, with the development of science fiction, did it somewhat change its meaning and is now used most often in relation to creatures from other planets.

Modern Features

Let's continue to get acquainted with the word “humanoid”. Its meaning, as shown earlier, has changed. And this process continues. So, now the term is also used not in relation to alien inhabitants, but in connection with inventions by human hands, for example, with the creation of humanoid robots that resemble people in appearance. Sometimes the term “android” is used in this case.

The distinctive features of such humanoids are as follows:

• The presence of any features vaguely reminiscent of human ones. For example, a torso with arms or a head on the shoulders.
• The exact resemblance is not prerequisite, a humanoid robot may well look like a machine, a mechanism.

However, this type of technology is just beginning to develop, which is why the word “humanoid” is rarely used in relation to robots.

So, we got acquainted with the meaning of the term, we saw that the word, for all its understandability, is quite ambiguous, its essence was rethought in different eras. It has both direct and figurative meaning.

Humanoid- (according to science fiction) - a non-human intelligent being with the physique, physiology and, most importantly, morality inherent, or at least close in significant details, to a person. In contrast to a humanoid, a non-humanoid is a fantastic intelligent creature possessing non-human intelligence, logic and morality, for example, thinking spiders that feed on people, antipodes of protein life forms, etc. It turns out that in the world around us it is quite possible to identify non-humanoid things (systems) - these are systems that have their own “logic of existence” and “interests” that do not intersect in a positive way with the interests of humans and humanity. These things must include: the Universe itself, Nature and the Biosphere - standing above man and determining the order of things in the world. The same things must include: society, civilization, cultures, art, technology and many other things that are, to a large extent, the result of the activity of the human mind (intellect) and that are usually classified as humanitarian areas of activity and knowledge. In recent years, more and more information has appeared that allows us to say that non-humanoid tendencies are beginning to prevail in the process of development of life on Earth. Associative block. It is also a paradox (?) that humanity itself is, oddly enough, a non-humanoid system.
