This is my firstpost on this forum so I say traditional: "Hello World"! Your question: - chance that humans will re-evolve in same or very similar form: is almost zero. This would require millions of mutations to happen in the same way. It is impossible. Also, from the life history on the planet we know that no extinct species re-evolves. - chance that another intelligent species will evolve: I think are pretty big. Great apes and possibly monkeys and dolphins are self-consious. So they are very close to be human-intelligent. Their past evolution show a trend towards bigger brains. So in few millions of years they could well evolve further into full consiousness. Pity for them that humans were first to cross the line!
