Evolution does not result in "winners". If a nuclear winter wipes out all humans, leaving only rodents to rule the Earth, I won't call the rodents "winners" or humans "losers". But the Q is still legit, and the answer depends on whether we think we live in a simulation or not.😊

I would absolutely call the rodents the winners.

The rodents don’t have the cephalization required to understand winning/losing thus making this scenario moot

You do realize we were the rodents once right? I know who won the last extinction, and I wasn’t even there.

Yeah - at the time our ancestral species had no concept of winning/losing. They just existed/survived

To take this analysis one step further, before there was the concept of evolution, and at one point our human ancestors overwhelmingly thought themselves as either gift or wrath of god(s), not winner or loser. It is only to which degree we agree or disagree.😊
