Actually, it could be argued <not tremendously well, but enough to be useful> that the 'human' arrangement of body structure and to a lesser degree genetics is the most pleasent route to sentience for species <not that other paths aren't possible, just harder and even less likely>. This makes lots of aliens being mostly human merely an artifact of what it takes, normally, to achieve sentience.
