Intelligent Life May Be More Likely to Exist on Other Planets Than Previously Thought, Scientists Say
Researchers present an alternative to the long-held “hard steps” theory to explain the evolution of complex life, suggesting it’s the natural outcome of a habitable environment rather than a lucky bre
Researchers Are Arguing We're Not Alone In The Universe And That Intelligent Life Doesn't Come Down To Luck
A new model has shown that humanity might not be exceptional but instead a natural result of evolution on our […]
'Perhaps it's only a matter of time': Intelligent life may be much more likely than first thought, new model suggests
For decades, scientists assumed that life on Earth emerged through a chain of highly improbable flukes. But a new theory suggests it may have instead arrived just in time.
Intelligent Aliens May Be All Across the Universe, a Controversial New Theory Suggests
According to an alternative model of how intelligent life emerges on planets like Earth, the existence of aliens—and human beings–could be the result of natural planetary processes.
New study: Intelligent life is likely very common throughout the universe
Scientists challenge the idea that intelligent life is rare. They argue that evolution follows planetary changes, not random luck.
New Study Suggests Intelligent Life May Be More Common Than Thought
A new study proposes intelligent life is more likely to emerge than previously thought, driven by planetary conditions.
New theory ups the odds that intelligent aliens exist
“Our existence is probably not an evolutionary fluke,” says Jennifer Macalady, a study co-author and microbiology professor at Pennsylvania State University. “We’re an expected or predictable outcome of our planet’s evolution, just as any other intelligent life out there will be.”
Finding alien life in the universe just got way more likely, according to groundbreaking study
The search for alien life in the universe has fascinated the scientific community for decades – and the chances of finding intelligent life out there in the cosmos just got more likely, according to a new study.
