You also need an ocean.
- acpetrov 8y agoimo you also need dry land, for the tool-making flavor of intelligent life

- vasama 8y agoIt seems unlikely that an aquatic species could ever develop ceramics, metalworking, or any other technology requiring the use of fire. Any ocean covering an entire planet is likely very deep, making construction difficult or impossible. Early power sources such as coal would also be unavailable.
