If an alien species has the ability for interstellar travel they will see us just like we would see a Neanderthal.

And who says they would be peaceful and kind.
Imagine the NAZIs winning WW2 and achieving the ability to travel the stars.
Not a nice thought.

At one time, yes. But what would happen if an island was found with living Neanderthals now? Not wanton murder or slavery. In fact, there would be violence from humans to stop it if someone tried that.
