For decades, many scientists have relied on the "hard steps" model to suggest that intelligent life is rare — the improbable result of a series of unlikely evolutionary leaps. But new research by ...
Over hundreds of thousands of years, humans somehow evolved a type of intelligence found nowhere else in the animal kingdom, at least on Earth. According to the most famous theory describing the ...
New theory proposes that humans — and analogous life beyond Earth — may represent the probable outcome of biological and planetary evolution UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Humanity may not be extraordinary ...
Scientists suggest finding extraterrestial intelligence is more likely than thought, arguing that complex life is not a cosmic fluke. NASA Scientists have adhered to the “hard steps” model of ...
So many things had to happen for us (humans) to end up here (Earth). Our species is made possible because a water-filled planet orbits a particular distance away from a star of a particular size.
A new model increases the probability of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, upending the decades-old “hard steps” theory that intelligent life was an incredibly improbable event on Earth. Are ...

'Perhaps it's only a matter of time': Intelligent life may be much more likely than first thought, new model suggests
The emergence of human life may not have been as improbable as scientists once thought, a new model suggests. The finding increases the likelihood of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, the ...

Evolving intelligent life took billions of years—but it may not have been as unlikely as many scientists predicted
A popular model of evolution concludes that it was incredibly unlikely for humanity to evolve on Earth, and that extraterrestrial intelligence is vanishingly rare. But as experts on the entangled ...
Some of the greatest evolutionary biologists of the 20th century famously dismissed the prospect of humanlike intelligence beyond Earth. Elen11 Elen11/Getty Editor’s note: The Focus on Research column ...
