Are There Two Different Origins Events?
I don't think that the origin of life happens in a pool and like radiates outward through evolutionary processes. I think it's a multi scale phenomenon. It happens at the level of individual molecules interacting collections of molecules interacting and entire planetary scale cycles. So there's a tight coupling between things that happen at, you know, the largest scale or planetary scale and the smallest scale that life mediates. But it still might be difficult within something you would call as a single civil alien civilization to communicate with each other.
