Character Role Analysis

Aliens/Slab

The alien slab teaches the man-apes to evolve and use tools and cross the galaxy. A slab sends humans out to Saturn. A slab transports Bowman to the far reaches of the galaxy, and then another slab turns him into a space baby. Slabs; they're here to guide you, puny human. Where would you be without the slabs beneath your wings?
