We don't know that there weren't any before.It doesn't make sense.
There are species that have been here longer than we have and over the course of 4 billion years no other species came close to human intelligence.
A lot of times people tell me it is because humans get in the way, but that doesn't explain why there wasn't any in the time period before humans - it only took us 200,000 years, and what about the 3 billion-something previous to that? Plenty of time.

No animal ever create fire, use electricity, organize resources to the same extent we do, don't use traps to catch prey, invent weapons, complex language (word per word), make light... List goes on
Animals never been even close to our intelligence. Who got the ball? The hairless monkeys that walk upright and suck at climbing.
We send signals into space, walk on the moon, split the atom, and sit in a shuttle that flies (airplanes); meanwhile animals sleep in the cold, on their toes for survival, getting injuries and have no hospital to care for it.
I'm just not understanding why... I wonder if, after our extinction, there'll be a species like us. If not, all of the information we gathered in humanity's lifespan is of no use.
