Why should it be easy? to our knowledge it only happened once in the history of the earth.

One celled organisms are still the most numerous. Evolution does not have a drive towards complexity, sometimes it works out that way. Mostly it doesn't.

Wrong, things change all the time for lots of reasons. Humans are changing now.
Quote:Why did we not stop at being insects? They are all over the planet and incredibly adaptable.

I believe it is a question worth answering.
As evolution doesn't have an objective it is not a question worth answering.
