Sure. Think about the optimal creature—for instance—and don’t anybody tell me that fitness is relative to the environment—we can see the environment.
Another point is that—even if there’s no competition (and natural selection) involving alien races, the fear of such competiton is likely produce a similar adaptive effect—moving effective values towards universal instrumental values.
