Post human conciousness on earth has already been around for what nearly 4 billion years? Life on earth represents a meta organism. It's a human bias to elevate the significance of the human species component above that of the greater meta organism. Ecology can be studied with similar tooling whether the frame of reference is a continent or your gut microbiome. If we wanted to, say, ship earthbound life to another planet, then lets consider the best form of earthbound life to make that journey across a hostile environment for an indefinite period of time. Chances are its not humans adapted to persistent hunting and gathering, but put some microbes or spores into a vial wrapped in gold foil, and you wouldn't even need a complex generational space ship to seed earthbound life across the universe, just a gun capable of firing the vial on a vector.
