Considering another fact, the first radio broadcast strong enough to be detected by any alien race is during the Berlin Olympics in 1936. That means, our signature of being a technological advanced monkeys can be detected by any advanced civilization within a radius of only 77 light years, compare that to the observable universe of 90 billion light years.
Harsh environment isn't conducive for the development of sentient beings, if they're not already developed. A developed being can adapt to the harsh environment, but a simpler or unicellular organism will reduce the system complexity to make maximum use of the available resources.Hence will never became a complex organism.
The first part would be assuming that non-human species have advanced to a level where they can detect our broadcasts. I hope to have aliens confirmed within my lifetime, but I am highly sceptical about them being more advanced than us. Maybe they are still living in caves on their planets.
The second part would mean that Darwin was flat out wrong about evolution. If an organism is merely surviving and not evolving to adapt to the environment, then the evolution theory crumbles. Personally, I'm inclined to say that the existence of apes even in this age proves Darwin was an idiot.
Point is: that if evolution doesn't occur, then humans are a rarity among rarities. And therefore, no aliens.
