Watch the movie Pacific Rim and you will see the North American dependence upon Technology : giant Robots.
You will also see the type of 'Unionist' Aussies that side with USA.
But they go to war with (your usual 'insinuation' for want of actually accusing with truth) BIOLOGICALLY superior beings from wayyyyy 'down under' the Ocean.
Guess its their way of describing Australians who 'do not' serve the USA and go about their 'own thing'.
The 'crack' in the Ocean floor - represents the 'cracks' in both cultures that are coming to head.
So there can be more than 'one' right answer to a problem.
Hell, there are 8 races and 8 regions of the world 'culturally' - so definitely more than just one right answer.
So an Android/Biological hybrid species can be highly considered. Even Asimov states that his 'Robots' eventually needed to 'meld into' the solarian 'Biologically superior'.
In Scuba Diving: you have the Technologically superior Tech Diver and then you have the Physiologically superior 'FreeDiver' - both are 'right' towards the evolution of the ultimate Diver.
But its pretty obvious that Humanity is made to conquer this world only and then make way to its successor, once total peace (and tranquillity from suicide) is made on Earth.
Our 'Star-Child' is made in our image - but not Human.
Maybe Orca with Technological adaptions? Who knows.
But only when something born from this world is 'given' to the Universe as a 'gift' will another Species from another world 'reveal' itself.
Until then. Play your role in how this World turns.
For they are indeed ...watching.
