Do you think there may be some planets where several species (e.g., dolphins, elephants, primates) all have advanced civilizations that compete with each other?

Are you suggesting that there's a planet of Shakespeare-writing monkeys out there? What would Charlton Heston make of that?

Doesn't everyone have a little ape inside them, even those who are not grapes?
