Earthlings include humans, any other species that evolved on Earth, and Earth-originating AI.
YES examples:
- Earthlings explore Mars and find non-Earth-originating life.
- Earthlings send an interstellar transmission to which aliens reply.
NO examples:
- Aliens invade Earth.
- Aliens transmit a signal towards Earth without having received a transmission from Earth, which is then received and interpreted by Earthlings.
