I can imagine they would be human like but I could imagine otherwise too, providing they are intelligent.
And HOW human like? I'm not sure they'd be like star-trek! I'm not sure they wouldn't either! I admit the whole humanoid thing seems counter intuitive.
I have decided not to vote until I have any idea. I have heard that intelligent life could be humanoid but I'm not sure how probable that is, or HOW humanoid that would indeed be.
They might be very successful and intelligent and NOT be humanoid, we just can't conceive of them/conceive of them precisely enough to judge.
I think they would very probably be either option 1 or option 2, but I'm not sure which.
