On the other hand, maybe its the Khoikapek who are the chauvinistic ones? I guess we'll never find out until someone goes and does a survey of thousands of extraterrestrial ecosystems across the galaxy (then compares them to see what adaptations are the most 'normal').

We can probably work out a few givens from evolution on Earth already, at least for an Earthlike environment. For example, both eyes and wings have independently evolved several times over, so - at least in an environment similar to Earth - we can expect most extraterrestrials to have eyes.
