Paradigm Shift

I know it's been done, maybe to death as a sci-fi thing.  But what about a character focused take on it?

What would humanity look like to an outside race?  We look at other cultures like they're some form of alien creation rather than a divergent track of evolution.  So, thinking further afield than that, what would we look like to an alien species?

First, what would we focus on? the culture is going to go right over the heads of most of any external viewers, it'll all just look insane.  But how about the larger issues?  Oh, and why should it matter?  Damn, now I have another story line I need to shelf and come back to.

One story at a time.

I'll get back to work here.
