-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

If one such Earth had the same orbit as it have now, evolution would of course have taken another path and Homo Sapiens are very unlikely to be around. Yet I see no reason why one such alterative Earth not would be host to advanced life. Half year long periods with sunlight around the clock followed by equally long dark winters are after all the natural state of things! |

In earlier warmer times when there were forests as far north as Ellesmere land and in inland Antarctica lots of plants and animals apparently did quite well under conditions that approached these, so I can't see any strong reason that "Uranian" climate should prevent advanced life forms from developing. tty |
