Verkhodanov The Drake equation includes the probabilities of various events, but does not include time. However, we know that the development of life on Earth from primitive forms to an intelligent species took about 4 billion years - about 30% of the age of the Universe. From paleontology, we know that in the development of life on Earth, there were long periods of stagnation, more than 1 billion years. We will consider the factors that determined the pace of evolution of the Earth's biosphere, and try to assess to what extent the terrestrial pace of evolution is typical for the Universe. Maybe if we wait 10 billion years, the Galaxy will be full of intelligent civilizations? This lecture was held as part of the Astrophysical School "Traektoriya" named after O.V.
