Are Earth Humans The 'Aliens' Early To The Universe's Life Party?

A few months ago there was a theory proposed in the astronomy community that surmised that we humans might be too late for alien life. The theory pretty much stated that alien life is already extinct and we are all that was left of life in the universe. Just like every study about drinking a glass of wine before bed or snorting raw eggs; a new theory proposes that we’re not staggering into the party late with warm beer, but we’re super early, playing guitar in the stairwell to an audience of zero.
