4+ You Forgot Pterosaurs

No telling how many times it evolved independently in insects either. I think wasps and bees evolved from ants not the other way around. I think that the difficult task of flight evolved multiple times over hundreds of millkions of years from very different starting points yet technology capable intelligence evolved once despite many other cases of encephalizationshows it is a quirky trait. Only one truly giant flier (long gone terosaur) ever evolved despite numerous oranisms capable of doing so. When you look at the infrequent spurts forward humanity made it is clear special circumstances drove our progress, not a general intelligence is better drive.
