Quote by Stephen Hawking
[In the Universe it may be that] Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare. Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth.
Summary
This quote suggests that while primitive forms of life may be abundant in the universe, the emergence of intelligent life is a rare phenomenon. It hints at the possibility that intelligent life has not yet evolved on Earth. This view challenges the notion of humanity's uniqueness and raises questions about the conditions necessary for the development of higher intelligence in the cosmos.
