if we found aliens would they get their own kingdom? Or would we put them in the existing ones?

If you think about it, life here had to develop under certain conditions, and all abiotic factors lead to the different kingdoms. Because to be able to live this long and adapt, evolution had to occur at some point. So if there's a habitable place somewhere else in the galaxy, they'd have to follow the same evolutionary basis, and therefore, follow the same biological rules.James R said:Assuming the aliens shared no common ancestors with any Earth life, it seems to me that they would need their own kingdom.
I think first we need to define what we mean by "alien".amaranthis12 said:Aliens would NOT be classified into an existing kingdom. The biomes would not be similar enough outside of Earth for aliens to grouped thus. Remember, if there were aliens, it is not guaranteed that they would even be able to survive by breathing oxygen. They would have their own genes and traits suited to their specific home environment.
The existence of extraterrestrial life is a topic of ongoing scientific research and debate. While there is no definitive proof of aliens, there is also no conclusive evidence that they do not exist. The vastness of the universe and the potential for other habitable planets make it a possibility that there could be other forms of life in the universe.
Scientists use a variety of methods to search for signs of alien life. This includes listening for radio signals from other planets, studying the atmospheres of exoplanets for biomarkers, and searching for microbial life on other planets. Many different organizations and scientific teams are involved in these efforts.
It is difficult to say what the most likely forms of alien life could be, as we have only ever encountered life on Earth. However, many scientists believe that microbial life is the most probable, as it can survive in extreme environments and may exist on other planets or moons in our own solar system.
It is possible that there could be alien civilizations that are more advanced than humans. However, it is also possible that there are civilizations that are less advanced or at a similar level of development. The lack of evidence for advanced alien civilizations could suggest that they are rare in the universe.
The discovery of aliens could have a significant impact on humanity, both culturally and scientifically. It could challenge our understanding of our place in the universe and open up new avenues for research and exploration. It could also have social and political implications, depending on the nature of the aliens and how their existence is perceived by different groups.
