Ever since the dawn of time, humans have always been accustomed to interacting with their own kind, which range from war, diplomacy, philosophy, religion and socialisation, they have always thought of themselves as special somehow, above the animals, chosen by god, etc, the list go on and on but what would happen in case the unthinkable happens? Encountering another species that is as sapient as humans, if not more intelligent? What hysterical reactions would spread from different groups and ideologies? Religious extremists? Ecstatic scientists? Overheated philosophists? It would awaken fears and uncertainties buried deep down in the subconsciousness of man

What do you think could arise from such an astonishing discovery?
