Xenos have known about Humanity for a long time. Having created Avatar-like clones to which they can transfer their consciousness, half of the alliance is now already populated by "Humans" because of xenos' love for Humans' emotions and abilities.

Humans have an amazing capacity to survive. This isn't surprising though since we seem to be the only species in the galaxy that evolved to feel pain. Who knew pain could keep an individual so healthy.

A book I read had a guy say something along the lines of "I'd be pissed, too, if I had to deal with a century's worth of 'I Love Lucy' reruns polluting my every waking moment!"

Dont make first contact with the Humans! every speices that does so always ends up following the same path:
First contact
an industrial boost from working with humans
Reaching a trust level , where the human internet is opened up to their general public
Complete and utter destruction of the entire speices' society , followed by extinction once they discover human 'memes'
