well...
consider the the religious work called the Urantia Bible. This item, really more defined and published during the the 1950s, proposed that indeed, man was a transplanted experiment placed on this planet by a group of intelligences responsible for seeding worlds with life.
now, this was a very bizarre idea for the 1950s. i didn't find out about it until it appeared on-line in 2000. its a very interesting concept. you might want to give it a read.

You are thinking along the lines of Scientologists (Tom Cruise's religion), bonefied scientists, and sci fi writers.
But first, djbest - by his first line - is an appearant member of the Flat Earth Society.
Now, have you heard of a thing called mitochondria? They are miniscule parasites that live within each and everyone of our cells and they live in symbiosis with us. They ensure that each cell does it's job and performs correctly in trade for a place to live. This sci-fi fact has found it's way into movies (Star Wars), video games (Parasite Eve), and literature (chiefly Heavy Metal magazine).
As I mentioned, Scientologists believe that our 'souls' - or that what makes us uniquely us on the inside - are descendents of space creatures from galaxies on the other side of the unknown universe.
My favorite idea is that we are natural descendants from Mars. Consider these known facts. Mars has a predominantly heavy iron oxide dust that gives it the red hue. When planets form, iron is usually heavy enough that it sinks toward the center of planets (ie Earth's molten iron core). However, some iron is returned to the surface from volcanic activity - perhaps from Olympus Mons, perhaps not. Consider the fact that a 'face' was discovered and then disproved using Occam's razor; this is a process of choosing a theory that requires the fewest unproven assumptions. So, let me just say that this iron heavy dust was thrust upon the planet by ancient human civilizations. They dug up the iron deposits and molded the iron to build... cities of iron that reached the skies - much like, if not exactly, like our modern skyscrapers. Ok, let me throw in another fact. Nearly 100,000 years ago homosapiens appeared out of no where in the fossil records and neanderthals just dissappeared. Here are a few more facts: iron metals deteriate (never could spell that word) over time due to oxidation, nuclear fallout - Hiroshima - deteriates over time, all traces of life can nearly be wiped out from a planet.
We once believed that the Sun was the all powerful God. Then we believed that there were many Gods (greeks for example) who controlled different aspects of our lives. We believed the Universe revolved around earth. Later on, even though many early scientists believed the earth was round it was 'common knowledge' that it was actually flat. On and on and on throughout our history we have always believed false ideas to be true and sometimes violently rejected actual truths. What if some day we actually visit Mars and find vast graves that genetically link us as closer relatives than we are to chimpanzees or neanderthals?

Personally speaking, I think we should be searching "Earth" for ETs first, before we start looking elsewhere in the cosmos. With regards to humans being ETs, I tend to think we should be called a form of "hybrid", as I believe we are the end result of a series of experiments carried out by advanced "Aliens" !

The term that you describe, could very well be us, except that we have not ever been to another solar system or another planet, ie the moon or wherever that ther was sentient life forms upon. I think it is very arrogant of us to assume that we are the only planet in this entire solar system with life on it capable of intelligent rational thought. There are probably planets out there with technology that far surpasses ours. Besides, most intelligent life forms would not bring down their own races conciously with disease, war and pollution. At least you would hope not. I could get lonely here all alone in the universe!

It wouldn't amaze me at all. I think there is a much more intelligent species out there somewhere. We might be the morons of their planet, and have been sent to earth because we're not smart enough to benefit their planet. We could be outcasts because they only want intelligent people (or whatever) on their planet. Right now I wish I was there. They are probably far advanced in medical care. I bet no one has to go without help even if they can't afford it.

well, for an alien we are E.T( that is again if their world contains Hollywood). the question has to be written in a more formal way because if we really were ET then why did we bother to land on earth? why did we bother to turn into weak, slow, good for nothing humans? why do we now need oxygen to survive and why do we have a ever groaning heart?
think about it.

There are just too many fossils and evidences of evolution of all the species on earth as being from the same lineage that it it would be impossible for us to just land here and be so genetically related to all the other life on earth. You're thoughts will never hold up to serious scrutiny.

Our bodies are mere shells; maybe, in an afterlife, our outer bodies take different forms; maybe we have evolved into this form, to adapt to Earth's atmosphere, after our ancestors landed here from another galaxy...
