Is our existence on Earth is a chance, the result of happy coincidence? Could it be that people people are just one of the many possible living variants that have emerged on the planet thanks to some evolutionary processes? According to IZ with reference to Popular Science, a recently published study changes our idea of how rare the emergence of a reasonable life in space is. It turns out that the emergence of such life can be much more predictable than we thought before.
To explain this new look, researchers turned to the old model of evolution, the so -called model “ rigid stages ”, which was proposed in 1983. She argues that a reasonable life, which with ’ is a result of many consistent stages of evolution, is incredibly unlikely, and therefore humanity is considered extremely unique in the universe. However, according to the new theory, this idea may be inaccurate. According to the authors of the study, the evolution of life on Earth took place on the principle of reverse connections;The new theory proposes to consider the stages of evolution not as individual incredibly rare events, but as a component of the process in which each new stage occurs as a result of previous changes. This approach suggests that evolution was not accidental, but consisted of a series of change that one by one created living conditions. As an example, photosynthesis, which changed the Earth's atmosphere, initially became possible, and later changed the planet so that similar conditions for the emergence of life in other places could no longer occur. This opens the opportunity to make similar life forms of ’ appear on other planets where evolutionary processes occur on similar principles. In space or whether there are other smart civilizations. In order for this to be with ’ to clarify, it is necessary to carry out many more studies, analyzing the conditions on other planets and exoplanets, as well as to study the earthly conditions for the birth of life. The new theory gives hope that the search for extraterrestrial civilizations may not be as unpromising as we thought before.
