On the contrary that would make the possibility that the great filter is the appearance of a cell very unlikely.
That leaves these possible obvious filters: single cell to multicellular life or planetary resources exhaustion.
- _kst_ 6y agoThe development of multicellular life is unlikely to be the great filter. According to Wikipedia, "Multicellularity has evolved independently at least 25 times in eukaryotes". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicellular_organism#Occurrence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicellular_organism#Occurre... Evolution of eukaryotes from prokaryotes is a more plausible bottleneck. (Disclaimer: I am not an expert on any of this.)
