The early history of life on Earth is like if legos spontaneously appeared out of nothing, but it took billions of years for anyone to try to put them together. That's why I like panspermia hypotheses better, they at least kick the can of abiogenesis somewhere else

Equally weird in my eyes is that we had dinosaurs for 140 million years but none of them left a note on the moon, a pyramid, or so much as a fossilized pair of dinosaur pants. If big brains are so incrementally useful why was it such a struggle to evolve them?

gotta do very long term stuff like change the composition of the atmosphere before you can have multi-celled organisms.
