    If you have a species that doesn’t feel a drive to explore they would never leave the place they evolved, then they would be at high risk of extinction when their climate changed with plate tectonics

    And perhaps it’s the drive to explore that has humans exploring ideas

    Maybe you need to be like us to get into space

      Most people don’t feel the need to kill someone, but if their life depended on it, they’d kill in self-defense.

      You’re conflating the “need” with the “ability”.
