Fascinating video. Many years ago I experimented with evolutionary concepts using two creature types: predators and prey. I created an X-Y landscape and one of the characteristics of every creature was its location on the X-Y grid. I had arrays to keep track of the two creature types. With every iteration, each prey stood a chance of dying, based on a basic random chance, it's age, and it's proximity to a predator creature, and all these variables would increase or decrease the random chance. The only hard-stop was that every creature would die at age 20. For the predators, all the same life/death factors were the same except proximity to prey creatures. The closer they were, the more likely they were to get fed. I wrote this program in Basic on an APPLE II computer, that is how long ago I did this. For replication, I kept the number of creatures constant. After the die-off of creatures that did not make the cut, I repopulated their slots with creatures generated from the surviving creatures. I would randomly select two surviving creatures of that type, average their stats, and then add a small randomized positive or negative value to those stats. I then plotted the location of all creatures on the screen, on the grid. It was fun to watch the prey creatures evolve away from the predator creatures while the predator creatures evolved in hot pursuit.

It's also possible that they are out there and we just haven't been looking long enough, or that we have found evidence of alien life but it's so far away from what we expect that we didn't realize what we have found.
