I think we have a long way to go to catch up with algae.

Please never change (in thus regard at least)!

I agree with you, it's not obviously clear what "advanced" means in this context if we don't automatically equate it with humanlike.

Also objective:

As far as we know humans are the only species to leave Earth’s gravity well. No other species has been able to do that in 4 billion years.

Humans have not left Earth's gravity well. We've built probes that have, but humans have only gotten as far as orbit.
