I used to think that way but not anymore. We didn't just pop out of somewhere with randomly created features. We are the result of an evolution and (almost) everything we have serves a purpose. If we imagine a distant planet similar to ours, bets are the evolution there will produce life forms similar to ours. Whatever the dominant life form is there, it still needs to move around, to be aware of its surroundings, to communicate, to breed, to get energy in some way.

And even if you were designing a life form, it's hard to get creative with the "features". What would you invent to replace eyes? You may put eyes on the back, you may triple the count, you may call them "the seeing things"...but you still need to have something that makes the life form aware of its surroundings.

Now, the fact that we have evolved from monkeys may be a matter of luck. On other planets the dominant life form may evolve from birds or fish but I don't think it's very likely that it will be something that we can't even imagine now.

Of course, with all this I'm assuming a "simple" model of our universe - no God, no intelligent design, no artificial intelligence and no "living in the matrix".
