This begs the ancillary question - would faster cosmic impacts speed up or slow down evolution? There are surely habitable planets with impacts orders of magnitude more and less impacts.
- tastyfreeze 5y agoI assume by faster you mean more frequent. When it comes to impacts faster just means more destructive. However, an increase in frequency of large impacts could cut off evolutionary pathways. For example, frequent impacts could make the land uninhabitable to most species.
