From Martian invaders, to signals from space, and ancient alien spaceships; first contact between humans and extraterrestrial life is a key element in many science fiction favorites. Lisa and Scott discuss some of these stories and what these stories may show us about how we recognize sentience, how we interact with other species, and what that interaction can tell us about humanity.
