      I mean if humans were a (local) optimum in the space of possible species on earth-like planets¹, evolution would evolve them most of the time.

        I feel like there’d be more crab like creatures than bipedal humanoids out there, just given how many crab-alikes there are on earth

        intelligence isn’t even selected for as an evolutionary trait due to the costs. we just got lucky. right time, right place.
