Planet Earth approx 20,000 years BC
Two Aliens are sitting together having a discussion, one is Human in appearance, about 9 foot tall with striking blond hair and handsome features (Godram),the other is 3.5 foot high with a small body, Grey skin, large head and big black eyes(Gurko)
Godram: Not bad Gurko, these beings are almost what we wanted, but not quite.
Gurko: Shall we destroy them Master ?
Godram: No, No I quite like them with their funny faces & hand shaped feet.
We shall call them Mon-kees.
Gurko: They make a great cup of tea as well Master.
Godram: Next time make them slightly more intelligent, not Dolphin intelligence but just enough so they can be aware of themselves, give them more language capabilities, and make them less Hairy. You know a bit more in my image.
Gurko: You want them to be as beautiful in looks as your people ?
Godram: Not quite. Make them fairly ugly, but let them think they are beautiful, do the same with the sense of Humour, let them think that they are funnier than they actually are.
Gurko: Won't that start to get annoying after a while ?
Godram: Possibly, but we'll be long gone by then.
Gurko: shall we give them telepathic abilities ?
Godram: That's a tough one, if they are telepathic they'll be able to read our thoughts. Tell you what - give them the capability, but don't let them know how to access it.
Gurko: Haha, good one Master, what about their conscience ?
Godram: Give them one by all means, just don't let it override everything they do.
Gurko: But that will make them both Good & Bad, perhaps in equal measure.
Godram: Exactly my friend, then they will fight with each other and not with us. In fact make them different colours as well, really distract them.
Gurko: Shall we make the females more intelligent as usual ?
Godram: I suppose so, but make them physically weaker.
Gurko: That seems a bit unfair, perhaps we should give the females a means of hypnotising the males.
Godram: It's always about the Boobs with you Genetic scientists Isn't it?
Ok if you must, just make the boobs all different shapes & sizes, we don't want the females to like one another too much.
Gurko: Should the Humans be aware of their Origins ?
Godram: Of course, we'll leave plenty of clues, Like the Mon-kees Etc. We don't want them all disagreeing on where they came from, that's just a recipe for disaster.
Gurko: If that's everything sir, we shall get back to the Laboratory.
Godram: Yes my friend, I think this time we'll get it right. Once They've built our Pyramids we won't be staying around long in any case, and then we can just leave them to live in Peace & Harmony for a few thousand years.
Gurko: well our species may pop back & see how they are doing from time to time, but we'll be discreet so as not to frighten them.
Godram: As you wish my friend.
Gurko: You don't think that making them too intelligent yet stupid at the same time will cause problems in their future.
Godram : as long as they don't start thinking about trying to save a planet that will be absolutely fine until the sun explodes, and concentrate on working with one another then they'll be ok.
Gurko: Or if they start getting silly Ideas, Like Health & Safety, or Political correctness.
Godram: Haha - it will be like Mars all over again.
Gurko : I won't make them that stupid, trust me sir
