The main driver for biological evolution is high infant mortality. Evolution is not "trial & error" (as Professor Carl Sagan stated in his Cosmos series), but, rather, "error & trial".
And Carl Sagan is right and I agree.
Most humans make the mistake of looking at the mass diversity of life on the planet, and stupidly think there has to be some perfect efficient planner. But what they never consider for example, for every tree that makes it to tall heights and has acorns, the vast majority of those acorns fall to the ground and rot or become food for other animals. And the same failure ratio happens with sperm and eggs. For every sperm that is successful in fertilizing the egg, per load, there are millions more that die in the vagina or in the uterus, or are excreted through urination or masturbation and never make it to the egg. Even with eggs, for every pregnancy that is successful, females have far more many periods than pregnancies.
If one postulates an efficient super cognition manufacturer the input of material would be a vast majority of waste and no sane factory boss wants such a lopsided ratio, they would go bankrupt in a day. There is no way I would hire this alleged being to run a factory with such a lopsided input and very little output.
If this super cognition were efficient and perfect then one should expect to see no material wasted at all, a 1 to 1 ratio, having a equal amount of material going in with 100percent used with no waste.
In our planet's 4 billion year history, our planet has had 5 mass extinction events so far, and what we see still alive today, is a meager 1%. 99% of life has gone extinct over those 5 mass extinction events.
