To be honest I still think its way complicated than that.
They might be intelligent life but the chances are near to none that they would have the same attributes as us (if they lived in a different planet.)
Therefore we really don't know if they have the same neurological and brain structures as us.
In other words they may not be compassionate or understanding and the individual would be more selfish since the limited resources of their environment. (Hence behavior)
Whatever ,it really triggers ones' out-of-the box imagination.
