It is entirely possible that other species could have developed complex ways of communication that we have yet to discover. It is also possible that life on other planets could be based on something other than DNA, and that the species on those planets could be quite different from us.

Understanding the various forms of life in our universe may lead to new discoveries and a greater appreciation of our own planet.
