not on the whole. It's just that the bad humans tend to fuck shit up so memorably. A lot of good is done every day by people...but it's hardly even noticed, much less commented upon.
And of course there would be technological and cultural differences. That's not a bad thing. We could learn from each other. I suppose each group changing due to the knowledge gained from the other could be considered a form of annihilation...it depends on if you're the sort of person who sees change as a good thing or not.

In one particular space opera, it's a mix and probably the best situation possible for humans.

Unless their advancement is so great they are VERY ethically enlightened, her fears seem valid.
