Because of the reality of Intelegent life on the earth (us), i am wondering about the possibility of the development of intelegent life in the sea. All life originated in the sea didnt it? (correct me if im wrong). The sea takes up a very large area of the Earth, and is abundant with life. The seas are also would be far less affected by climatic changes which have brought about the downfall of many species. During an ice age there still would be warm waters deep beneath the layers of ice, in which life can still flourish. Anyone who has ample scientific knowledge of evolution may be able to help me out on this. Bear in mind that if life capable of indipendent thought actually existed at the depths of the oceans, and these beings were somewhere on a par with us as far as intellegence goes, it would be very well in their interests to hide from us thier existance. These hypothetical beings would most likely not be capable of construction as we know it, or even the use of tools. This most likely points to them very likely not even existing, because the use of tools by early man in my mind is the major contributing factor in the development of a highly evolved problem solving brain. But we have no idea of exactly all the life that is in the sea, especially at great depths. So there is a possibility that there could be highly evolved life, and that they never need to come into contact with us. Would you want to come out of the water to greet a violent, hostile and unpredictable race like us? Post away! any ideas or comments, even telling me im insane will be appreciated.....
