Humans can barely coexist with other ethnic groups. Do you really think we would have tolerated another intelligent species? We would have murdered them by any means available.

It's also amazing that our species probably only numbered in the dozens at one time, and that most of the other similar species died out. Then combine that with the possibility that planets with evolved life of any sort are extremely rare.

Don't know if that's true. Some of the other hominid species, such as Neanderthals, may have given that some thought before they went extinct.
