It doesn't seem unfathomable that it could be the case that most advanced civs escape the confines of our limited universe or even evolved outside of it. Considering how many species there are, millions, it seems unlikely that we are at the "top" of the tree of life, but rather that we are unable to detect more advanced "animals" that are part of it.
