Noophian
The Noophians were an alien race that was known for its lack of historical appreciation. 

According to Noonian Soong, "If you brought a Noophian to Earth, he'd probably look around and say, 'Tear that old village down. It's hanging in rags. Build me something new, something efficient.' But to a Human, that old house, that ancient wall? It's a shrine, something to be cherished." ()
