Brownlee expects to find not a sign of life among those 100,000 particles of dust. He is an old curmudgeon when it comes to finding life beyond earth, although he thinks life is very common inside planets. He expects we are the only higher forms of life for a very long ways counting plants and animals of multicellular type as higher forms. Bacteria out there are likely, but not in these samples.
