Scientists claim that people-like beings can exist throughout the entire universe

Imagine that future humans manage to travel to other worlds and find… more people. According to an astrobiologist at the University of Cambridge, this scenario may be more likely than you think.

In a new interview with the BBC Science Focus, evolutionary paleobiologist Simon Conway Morris from the University’s Department of Earth Sciences said that researchers can “say with reasonable certainty” that human-like evolution has taken place elsewhere in the universe.

At the core of Morris’s beliefs is the theory of convergent evolution, which states that “random effects eventually average out, so that evolution converges, seeking the appearance of similar organisms in any environment.”

The magazine used the example of flight, which “independently evolved on Earth at least four times — in birds, bats, insects and pterosaurs.”

I watched a video before where a scientist was saying that the odds of alien life looking like humans was virtually impossible. I believe this theory is more possible. I believe that there is life on other planets and in other solar systems that look like us

While the possibilities of life in the universe, in another galaxy, in another solar system, cannot be ruled out it is hard to say what kind of life would that be. Would they look like humans, would they look like animals, would they be something that fiction writers and movie makers have imagined, it is really difficult to say.
