The "driving force" is just the greater suitability of certain morphologies (and traits) to certain niches. That's why there are so many examples of homoplasy.

We don't know what might've happened had the Dinos survived. Russell believed Saurornithoides (=Troodon) might've given rise to high intelligence. In any case our remote ancestors already existed around the K-Pg and might've overcome the megafauna in time just like our ancestors did to mammalian megafauna in real life.

There has been a great variety of reported beings associated with UFOs. Most are basically humanoid but even within that group there is great variety--grays, hairy monsters, insect-like beings, nordics etc. Will humanity of the future really be that diverse? ?Origination on a number of different worlds, or deliberate engineering of different types of beings for various missions, seems much more likely. Add to that their arrival in flying machines and the frequent claim to come from elsewhere in our universe.
