Again, I have claimed that we have a divine purpose, but I do see purpose.
The "one-legged" humans would not be humans. Lol they would be a diff species. They would be intelligent life but not "us." We are unique to this planet. We have adapted to this planet. Other planets with life would have adapted to that unique planet. Yes it's possible that "humans" live on another planet based on the fact that I have no proof otherwise, but evidence suggest that would not be the case.
Typo, I have NOT claimed divine purpose! Whoops!!
Either way, I see it as trivial that we are quite possibly the only species of humans in the universe. Finding intelligent life is what matters and not the traits that they might have gathered from their particular evolutionary path.
In conclusion, yeah you can argue we're "special" in that sense, but so what? It doesn't matter how we would have turned out, you'd be saying we're special because of our unique biology. It's not a particularly thought-provoking point though...
