Humanoids in Super Earth
So, I was reading this article about how difficult it would be for any alien race to escape an exoplanet with about 10 times the mass of Earth.
It states they probably would even lack satellites. Taking into account a planet like the one in the example, where "escaping" the planet or even putting up satellites would be impossible, how feasible would be the existance of a humanoid race, like humans, and how close to our appearance could they get?
Usually one would think they might look like DnD's dwarves due to the gravity being higher, is that a must or is there a way for their bodies to be more similar to our human stature and bulk?
