Basically, evolution tends to get stuck in local optima where some intellectually dead ended apex predator eats all the proto intelligent upstart species. Since we have found no fossilized technology, that must have happened for Billions of years!

changes in the environment (asteroids, volcanic eruptions, ice-ages) and varying competition continuously unlock local optima
