The major misconception in that theory in the OP is that we had "uninterrupted development". There were several mass extinction events. A few of them wiped out more than 90% of species living at that time. And IIRC, the impact with the rogue planet that eventually formed the moon? There was life before that point and life afterward. A fucking planet collision couldn't stop (microbial) life.


relatively uninterrupted


No, that many global extinction events is being pretty thoroughly fucked with.

I guess it would be worse without Jupiter taming the asteroid belt, but who says a Jupiter type planet would be rare in these life-bearing solar systems? Who says they would even have an asteroid belt needing shepherded?
