TLDR: The ctenophore developed brains completely differently than every other creature on earth. So, if evolution was “re-run” brains would develop.. but possibly take a different path. Intelligence appears to be an inevitable conclusion of evolution. This also opens the up possibilities as to how aliens also might develop as well.

Yes, more and more evidence seems to point the inevitability of us based purely upon the underlying framework of the Universe.
