I agree. Although I don't know if I agree with the first come first serve narrative. We, as living beings, are still stumbling across entire species we hadn't discovered yet, billions of years after the fact; we're even finding new isolated tribes of our own kind. Earth is big enough that entire populations can thrive under our noses without being devoured.
If life emerged multiples times, there's enough distance in the world for multiple lineages to have emerged. Even puddles a few inches (centimeters) apart, are a solar system away at the microscopic level. Life is rarely at each others throat. By devouring do you mean in the competition sense, by devouring each others resources? Or do you mean actually devouring, in the carnivore prey/predator sense?
