Any life on Earth basically is and behaves the same. We're all cousins here.

It is unreasonable to assume aliens are anything like us.

When you're sample size is 1 it's wrong to assume that the general population is exactly like your sample. Of course, it's slightly more wrong to assume the general population is nothing like your sample.

It's entirely reasonable to assume that any life that evolves under resource constraints will have violent competition somewhere in whatever means of intergenerational data transport they use.
