We are an experiment in that aliens are trying to build a race of humans that are genetically exactly what they want to be a slave race. That would explain the guided evolution and natural disasters that wiped out failed experiments, why groupthink and clustering of populations happens, and why they give us technology and allow us to get smart enough to do exactly what they want.Us being an experiment, is just way too cartoonish to make sense. Not because we humans hold any special significance on a cosmic level, but simply because we're too far away to be of any interest. We're not talking about driving down town to the aquarium or the zoo, we're talking going at minimum 16 light years. And if life exists on several planets, why would a civilization that can't even land on Mars, the next closest planet, be of any significance to them?
Duh.
