Earth's Big Cousin

Stars like the sun don't go "boom" exactly. They gradually swell into a red giant, then collapse into a white dwarf. Any life on that planet has already had at least a billion more years to evolve than we've had. Who knows how that translates to life evolving in different conditions than we have here.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
