The concept of extra-terrestrial life probably developed from the "angels and demons" of early religions, establishing space as the realm of supernatural entities. The concept of civilizations on other worlds may have begun with the Greeks, notably the ancient Greek writers Thales (624-546 BC) and Anaximander (610-546 BC). The novelist Lucian of Rome (125-180 AD) described humanoids on the Moon and other planets. ("Actual" aliens would proably come from procreation by "other aliens".)
