Sail Fish?

Re: hydrothermal vents. I am well aware of that hypothesis. I am not dismissing it off-hand but I remain to be convinced. I agree the conditions were optimal but were they 'optimal for long enough? Millions of years? They may look stable on a human time scale but I would imagine hydrothermal vents do not last that long, they come and go as the tectonic plates move.

Generally, not really. Better nutrition and health care today gives the possibility of growing a healthier and more able brain, but that is probably offset by the modern living which does not exactly require a functional brain... and so our minds stagnate.

Evolution is pretty slow process and especially the brain has not changed that much during the latest 50000 years.

Sounds great! Would it be possible for you to go there and verify that he doesn’t know anything we are missing about alien activities in our domain?

FYI: Webb is the name of the telescope. The speaker is John Mather. He is a Nobel Prize winner in astrophysics.
