Abstract
This article examines how the myth of extraterrestrial (ET)-human hybridization reworks earlier traditions of superhumanhuman hybridity, how the ETs of current lore represent the morphological projection of the direction of human evolution, and how the myth of ET-human hybridization tracks current developments in reproductive technology and increased understanding of reproductive processes. The myth of ET-human hybridization mediates the tension between individualism and collectivism (one of the most basic concepts of cultural psychology). Whereas the ETs of 1950s-style ET-contactee myth promised salvation from nuclear war, the ETs of the current hybridization myth need us as much as we need them.
