Not only that we have the mummies that have been in the news from Peru. There is debate over what they are, if they were ever alive or are constructed, or how they were made, but what isnt up for debate is whether these things are actual archeological finds or not. At the very least some culture in Peru was making little dolls ( and life sized dolls) that were also nearly identical to what we would describe as a grey aliens but thousands of years ago. The idea the "grey alien" archetype is some sort of modern science fiction product is pure nonsense. Three fingered beings with large eyes are just something humans like to make art of for some reason.

I would think any other intelligent race of beings would not necessarily look human in terms of superficial features, but would be built like us to some degree, because it's a structure that works. Bipedal gives you an advantage in developing and using tools over walking on four or more legs. Land dwelling gives you the ability to harness fire and smelt metal to make tools, construct buildings and transportation, etc. Things like intelligent squid like creatures seem like nothing but science fiction to me. Anything water dwelling would have a hard time ever becoming a space faring species, without the ability to use fire or combustion, smelt metal, etc.

All the forms life can take and what can be utilized from those forms (like we did with the shape of bird wings in learning how to make planes).
