For the most part, plants do little for their offspring other than what nutrition exists in the fruit that hold the seeds. This means that most of the life on this planet is just a numbers game.

I suspect that there is a much smaller percent of acorns that successfully turn into oak trees than there are larvae that turn into mosquitoes.

When one considers the entire evolutionary process, it took a huge amount of biological activity on this planet before it was able to generate a species that was literate and capable of engaging in rational discourse.
