Do you have any reason to think it is not happening?Maybe it is going on still. It would be very hard to find among the huge biomass of current life. The current life is going to eat it up right away anyway.It is still statistically small, but think of the improbability as a poker game where everyone is dealt a royal flush. If there are billions of card games going on for millions of years, the improbability becomes an almost certainty.

then why isnt it still going on?
“Maybe” doesn’t sound very scientific to me. You have some reason to think this is “maybe” happening?
A "maybe" definitely is not scientific and was not meant to be. It's just something that is in the realm of possibility.
