I am surprised, though, that humans’ closest non-primate relative is the mouse; I would have thought it would have been the sheep, particularly in New Zealand.

We can trace down evolution to about 500 or 600 million years ago and that doesn’t even include the single cell stuff.

It’s a big universe. In my mind we cannot be the only so called intelligent species.
