Maybe we are late in the universe, perhaps universe used to be a lively and vibrant place homing millions of civilizations. Now, we stand as the last remnants, hence, possibly the most advanced.

Yup, all the evidence scientists point to agree that if anything we are early to the party.

It's wild to think that we may be what aliens call "the elder races" or "precursors" or something like that, depending on if we survive that long.

For reals! Then the young races introduce themselves and we demand they dab as an introduction lol

Our elephants may become the precursors, we are likely to just become a thrall race.

Man I think it's so damn optimistic that you think we'll be around long enough to be an elder race, or even leave enough of a mark to be called a precursor.

I agree, that's why I added the caveat. Doesn't seem very likely... But it's so interesting to think about
