    … and it was all by chance and luck

    I’m sure that there are planets all over the galaxy where the same or similar creatures evolved and didn’t get wiped out but instead evolved into higher animals.

    Our lineage was lucky to go on to create humans because all the other ones got wiped out in the Cambrian for some reason.

    If those same creatures had survived, they would have evolved into more unique forms of life and we would have called them aliens.

    Funny part is, those same creatures I suggested that might exist in alien worlds might one day run into us and look at us like some kind of weird animal that might have evolved out their own planet’s Cambrian extinction event.
