Universal Constraints in Evolution: Convergence, Sociality, and the Search for Alien Life

To the point

Arik Kershenbaum argues that universal laws govern evolution, so alien life would likely develop similar complexity through convergent, physics‑driven paths, with sociality, communication, and culture arising from information needs even if genetics differ, and SETI should integrate biology and ecology to search for life and infer its history, a view echoed by debates like Gould–Conway Morris.
