Has me thinking about the Drake (RIP) equation, thinking about life in terms of probabilities.
Seems like the chances of finding intelligent life on a planet vs. plain ol' plants and sponges life must be markedly smaller. Humans have existed on this planet for what fraction of the whole of life on this planet?
Of course, that's from one data set — and one in fact where the jury's still out as to our longevity as a species.
Sci-fi haș me thinking that pretty much any planet with life also has intelligent life but that doesn't ring true when you look at the numbers.
