Very cool! There was an article a while arguing that we humans are very early in this universe and that’s why we don’t see any other alien species. There was a list of 7 steps that needed to happen for humans to exists. I don’t remember them, but I think would be to cross check if all of them are on your list. Edit: found the theory. It’s called Grabby Aliens and they use a concept called “hard steps” of evolution.

>There was an article a while arguing that we humans are very early in this universe and that’s why we don’t see any other alien species. I recall that discussion and added to it with a link to a PBS SpaceTime Episode[0] which discusses this in some detail. Since you find it interesting (I certainly do), check it out. Actually PBS SpaceTime has lots of other really awesome stuff too![1] [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTrFAY3LUNw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTrFAY3LUNw [1] I am unaffiliated with PBS SpaceTime, rather I'm just glad it exists!

I try to keep my list focused on entries that are meaningful to me (I have an interest in archeobotany) so I only add things I feel I have a good understanding of. But I highly recommend other people try keeping their own similar lists and watching them grow over time. Really helps out when you come across articles dealing with big timespans
