I don't know. Everything in the principle seems to equate equal to equal - you as a human are not special among humans... Earth is not special among planets, and so on. To assume humans are not special among all life is to ignore evolution and our dominant position on Earth.

That said, we didn't get here by divine intervention, and on another planet with life, the dominant species will likely have followed a similar pattern to dominance, and our existence as the dominant species is not special (the dinosaurs once owned the place).

Also my ability to understand to what level you are being silly or snarky or sarcastic is equally non-special.
