Space Elves: Difference between revisions

Some anthropologists [[Wild Mass Guessing|have speculated]] that the tendency to imagine any foriegn intruders who are different from us as [[Elves Versus Dwarves]] is hard-wired, like the theory that humans are hard-wired to imagine [[Our Dragons Are Different|dragons]] because of our [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|bad experience]] with snakes. By this logic, we have an innate tendency to classify "powerful" cultures as inscrutable, slender ([[The Greys|tall]] and/or [[Little Green Men|diminutive]]) beings who were [[Magical Native American|here before us]], have better tools and are [[Witch Species|not to be messed with]],<ref>([[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|i.e. us]]. All of which traits were [[Older Than They Think|once attributed]] to pygmies and other neolithic tribes by their Iron Age neighbors)</ref> versus [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|swarthy, hairy fellows]] who are industrious, engage in untouchable occupations such as mining, and are migrants. '''Space Elves''' would thus occupy an extreme niche in the spectrum.
