We know what we look like. We know how it ended, at least for us
and the animals around us. So we tend to look at us and whales
and humming birds and think that it was somehow inevitable. That,
all our ancestors HAD TO either go extinct or evolve into us.

Let me put it this way:  Imagine you were going to do a study on
the sexual habits of woman, and recruited all your subjects from
a VD clinic.

Do you really think that the resulting picture is going to be
representative of the group [Woman] as a whole?

There are plenty of individuals in the group [Woman] who have not, and
do not, practice social sexual activities.  If you mean to study that
category, VD clinics would have more representative samples of [Woman]
than say nunneries or grade schools.

So what we need is an example of evolution OUTSIDE the earth. We
need to expand our view from "What has happened" to "What can
happen" if we are to ever understand evolution.

a HUGE discovery!

It's almost certain life exists elsewhere in our Universe.  IMO we
will find evidence of it in our lifetime.  It's less certain if other
technically advanced civilizations exist just in this galaxy at this
time.  Given the difficulties, it's almost certain no extraterrestrial
life, advanced or otherwise, has ever reached Earth.
