The odds of any particular human existing is 1 in nearly infinity.
The conditions had to be nearly perfect for life to form. And then if you look at your millions of ancestors, many of them were in near-death situations before they reproduced. And then, most people meet each other basically out of sheer luck.
It’s not like in science-fiction movies: a tiny fluctuation in the distant past would probably mean you no longer exist. The conditions had to be perfect just for your mom to meet and then take interest in your dad, and your grandparents, and their parents, etc.
But once you exist, the odds are 1 in 1.
