... all I know is in Prometheus (the myth) god created man in his own image, which POSSIBLY points to the Space Jockey being humanoid at least...
In the myth of Prometheus, the eponymous semi-god (if memory serves me right) poaches the fire and imparts it to the mankind, but none initiative is let go unpunished, so his liver is eaten out on the daily basis, hence the myth is not creating of man. And as we all have not seen the movie yet, Prometheus' lot (punished by higher beings) can be associated with E. Shaw's scientific crew, as well as with mysterious creatures aka Space Jockeys, subsequently SJ can be just another extraterrestial race, which is created by the same higher beings, who initiated life on Earth.
The point is it's senseless to make any inferrences whithout having watched the movie itself (and distorting ancient Greek mythology to boot)
