5.4.3 Simon Conway Morris: paleontologist
Channel: Are We Alone?
Date: 04/10/2021

Simon suspects we are alone in the universe because of the small likelihood of life emerging from non-life. But if life gets started, he thinks the evolution of humanoids is inevitable. He thinks there is such as thing as an intelligence niche and that a Planet-of-the-Apes scenario is plausible. Human intelligence WILL BE a convergent feature of evolution.
