Answer:

To argue that Einstein was in some ways an average person.

Explanation:

In the piece <em>"Was Einstein A Space Alien?</em>", the author give details of Einstein's normal daily life - being a father and the need to work at the same time. The same life problems were also faced by Einstein even though he was considered to be one of the greatest scientist ever. But this special intellectual capacity of the man did not make it easier or even different from any other else on how his family life is. When the author quoted Peter Galison, a Harvard University physicist and science historian, saying that "Einstein was no space alien", he meant to include the fact that like everybody else, Einstein was also a normal human being. According to Peter, if Einstein hadn't written or done whatever he had achieved, it would still be done by someone else.
