Is there life on other planets?

Considering the number of stars in the universe, even if only a few of them have planets, it seems highly unlikely that Earth is the only planet supporting life.

However, it seems that all life on Earth evolved from a single ancestor, suggesting that abiogenesis is extremely rare. It is possibly so rare that it has only ever happened once anywhere?

Think of all the species on this planet before us. Millions of years of evolution then we pop up. Maybe many are populated but sentient beings like us are very rare maybe.
