Life evolves in a similar manner regardless of the predominant atomic elements on any given world. Carbon based or silicon based, the process of DNA evolution is strikingly similar. Add to that the factor of seeding potential life bearing planets and the similarities between life that develops on one world and life that develops on another may be almost identical. However, the environment on a given planet may be harsh to one type of life form and ideal for another.
The impact of the environment is most commonly seen in the prevalence of water planets, where no dry land exists, failing to evolve land dwelling creatures at all. Here the life form that emerges as the intelligent species is most often a type of octopus, as their tentacles allow manipulation of the environment and intelligence eventually develops due to that capacity.
The second most common impact of the environment occurs where mammals fail to prosper because reptiles prospered so well. This occurs on warm planets where a rapid rotation of the planet toasts the environment evenly and allows cold-blooded reptiles to be constantly active. The reptiles simply eat the emerging mammals, being more highly evolved and there first, and thus the mammal life form is less likely to evolve.
Planets where a mammal life form emerges and evolves to a degree that allows the mammal to be a candidate for selection as the intelligent species to be genetically engineered on the planet routinely have an environment that is harsh in some way to reptiles. Your Earth is such a planet, with a slow rotation that creates cold nights, winters, and poles such that cold-blooded reptiles are sluggish and slow.
Where insects develop as the dominant intelligent species the planet has land but does not have a generous food supply in its waters or as vegetation on the land. Insects eat anything, in tiny bites, and can live on dung, rotting tissue, crumbs, and the slime that may cover rocks along the edge of water pools. As with the dominance of reptiles, the life form that gets a head start and does not experience frequent set-backs can take advantage of what follows.
In the case of planets where insects emerge as predominant, some insect forms begin to eat other insects, and thus can grow larger. Humans, used to insect forms that are tiny, are seeing what occurs when all insect forms are consumed by others. On Earth, insects are consumed not only by other insects but also are the favorite food of birds, reptiles, and rodents. For any insect to evolve as a large specimen on Earth would require a protected environment where none of the other Earth creatures could discover it. This is simply not the case on your Earth, but is the case on those rare worlds where insects evolve as the predominant, and eventually the intelligent, species.
ZetaTalk: Who Came First

Should a stranger drop into human culture from another world it would be hard to decipher all the protocols and interdependencies without a historical record. Why paper money rather than cloth woven with special threads, and why are some structures square rather than round when most building materials such as rocks, tree stumps, and caves are rounded? Such is the confusion that humans experience when first learning about genetic engineering in their past and seeding planets in general. The genetic engineering practices they learn about do not reflect, on their face, the history of these practices. Was life, at the very beginning, seeded by God, and when did the practice of intelligent groups seeding other planets begin? We, the Service-to-Other Zetas who are talking to you here, do not have all the answers, but we can share our understanding.
Life first begins as a natural result of the processes that occur on all life bearing planets - the warm soup of oceans, filled with the simple genetic components that can and do linkup in an endless variety of combinations. Humans are aware that the DNA on Earth is all composed of four simple building blocks. In other parts of the Universe such components differ from those on Earth, nor is four the magic number. Big bangs occur periodically in this or that section of the Universe, and life forming after a big bang evolves slowly. In that same section of the Universe numerous worlds will eventually produce, during the natural course of evolution, intelligent creatures capable of offering a home to forming entities. Seeding planets and genetic engineering is eventually done within a section of the Universe for the same reasons that human couples long to have children - for more company and the pride that parentage brings. The process of evolution is expedited, bumped from slow motion to fast, and the number of worlds eventually becoming life-bearing planets is increased.
In the section of the Universe to which the Earth is a part, the seeding of planets and migration of reptilian or hominoid life forms has been in place long before our time. We have been told that none of the hominoids currently visiting Earth were the precursor, but rather all are the result of seeding and genetic engineering. Of the many hominoids who contributed to mankind's hominoid structure, none were the base hominoid, which was smaller and more monkey-like than would be expected. In truth, the issue of who started mankind will not be resolved by researching the history of genetic engineering efforts, as every step back opens another history book, and on it goes. Does it matter? Live in the present, which has more puzzles than humans can even begin to address. Live for the future, which will shortly get quite lively.
ZetaTalk: Genetic Engineering

Life evolves toward 3rd and 4th Density naturally, in the Universe, only more slowly than if assisted. There is no more difference in seeded worlds than unseeded worlds, than there is in babies conceived in test tubes vs. naturally and by accident. This only speeds the process, and results in more souls, sooner. The reason for interest in seeding worlds, and in essence parenting new souls, is no different than a human parent wanting to nurture. One is allowed great scope for empathy, in being not only a Birthing Guide but a Spirit Guide, as both functions help the young soul toward paths one would hope for them. The Birthing Guides help to steer toward an incarnation that will assist learning. The Spirit Guides are on hand during the incarnation to assist with questions, times of doubt and need for counseling.
Most entities in higher densities do not assist thus with 3rd Density worlds, but some have specialized in this. Thus, it is a matter of choice, in the Service-to-Other entity, where it can be of service, and some chose this direction. Human parents want children for many reasons. They want company, status, someone to interact with them and look up to them. They want helping hands on the farm, someone to carry on the family name or business, or because they are expected to produce offspring else be considered lacking in some regard. Humans thus presume a number of motives in aliens that are genetically engineering a 3rd Density life form. They presume all the motives they are familiar with. However, genetic engineering is done by Service-to-Other groups, under tight control and direction by the Council of Worlds. Thus, they are Service-to-Other motives, exclusively.
