If You Was a Moklin by Murray Leinster audiobook.
Genre: scifi
Forty years after the first Earth ship settled the lush world called Moklin, the tiny human colony thinks it has won the jackpot of first contacts: the Moklins are friendly, helpful, and openly fascinated by everything human. They admire Earthmen so much that they copy our clothes, our speech, our habits, even our ideas about business and trade. And on Moklin, imitation is not just a hobby. Their strange biology lets each new generation change with startling speed toward whatever traits their people most strongly want.For Brooks and the other long-term colonists, it is flattering at first, then unsettling. A new trading post appears with suspicious efficiency. Human mannerisms spread too perfectly, too quickly. When an off-world investigator, Inspector Caldwell, arrives to look into rumors of unethical competition, the colony is forced to ask a question no one wants to voice: what if the Moklins are not only learning from humans, but becoming them? As friendship shades into fear, the settlers must untangle what the Moklins truly intend and decide how to protect a civilization that might be copied right out from under them.
