Why are the conditions for alien life to evolve the same as ours? Why can’t they evolve without water, or extremely far from their sun? Is there a reason for this or is it just because our only example is ourselves?

Question

Idk if to put biology or planetary science so ye.

In: Biology

Answer 1

It doesn’t need to.

However, conditions like earth is the only example we have that we are 100% certain can support life.

Until we find another non earth like environment that supports life, they are considered less likely to harbour any life, as far as we know.
