Ian: some individual values of other naturally-evolved beings may be recognizable, but that doesn't mean that the value system as a whole will.

I'd expect that carnivores, or herbivores, or non-social creatures, or hermaphrodites, or creatures with a different set of senses - would probably have some quite different values.

And there can be different brain architectures, different social/political organisation, different transwhateverism technology, etc.
