It depends on what you mean by "humanoid", but, IMO, it would be logical
for sentient species to have a humanoid form, in as far as bipedal, two
arms, two eyes (at least), two ears (at least), major sensory organs
concentrated in one region (i.e., the face), opposable thumbs, a mouth,
etc. Actually, I suppose that maybe they wouldn't even have to be
bipedal, but certainly have at least one pair of free limbs (arms). I
suppose that a six-limbed creature could have four legs and two arms
(Centaurs?). The two eyes and ears are for binocular vision and stereo
hearing.
