Loved that movie! This is just me, but I don't really see humanity as the bad guys in that film. The crazy warlord that eats aliens to 'gain their strength' is a good example of how ignorance and superstition bring a species down. On the other hand, a govt doing their due diligence to study the technology and physiology of a more advanced species is just smart planning.
I mean an alien race showing up out of nowhere, with physics defying technology, is pretty much an extinction level event. In that film, humanity pretty much got lucky that there was some sort of catastrophic failure with the ship and the aliens ended up getting all sickly. Otherwise, the film would have ended up with humanity being turned into cat food. Now that I think about it, humanity is probably gonna end up as cat food since that alien dude got a ride out.
Disregarding human history, on a biological level all lifeforms compete against each other. Life on a cellular level is just a cycle of resource acquisition, reproduction, and expansion. Different species have different strategies to dominate their environments, hence the way variation showcases itself in the diverse flora and fauna that exist here on earth.
TLDR: District 9 earth better 'pepper their angus', cause people make decent alien cat food.
