Related to my last post, what about the possibility of assistance coming from another species?
Imagine humans found a way off this planet, that is to say, before the sun becomes a red dwarf and swallows the earth, Surely we could consider them fit, largely due to their intellect and tool-using prowess, However, imagine then, that humans choose to bring along oysters and red pandas. Would this mean that if the sun swallowed the world, humans, oysters, and red pandas, would have been the most fit on earth? As with my last answer, I am not inclined to say that those animals are the most fit. This is another example of how circumstance unrelated to evolutionary adaptation could possibly influence the survival of a species.
