As “V_V” implies, the existence of other forms of life and other forms of intelligence does not imply the possibility of radical life extension or of superintelligence.
It is easy enough to imagine a future in which biotechnology permits all sorts of altered lives and altered states without going much beyond the lifespan or intelligence of anything already in the animal kingdom, and in which computers, robots, and computer programs continue to be as brittle as they are now. So history continues and becomes posthuman, but not transhuman.
