.... intelligent and technologically capable animal species?
In other words, could evolution, on any given planet, have resulted in the simultaneous coexistence of two (or more) completely different, but equally self-conscious, intelligent and technologically capable species, living side by side?
... Or would they have tried to kill each other off - the case of the Neanderthals, for instance, is as close an analogy as I can think of in the human case. Although the Neanderthal was NOT a “completely†different species and chances are that they have even been partly absorbed into the modern human race to some extent. … So in answering the question PLEASE do NOT concentrate on the Neanderthals’ case, I merely used that as an analogy. Thanks for your comments.
