How many universes can there be where 1950s-1970s England repeatedly attracts hideous alien villains vulnerable only to intelligent, eloquent scientists?

5,000 years ago their device sampled human tissue and found it acceptable. It then generated an influence that caused humans to breed prodigiously, so that when the gathering time arrived there would be a much bigger crop.
