The stars and aliens are a fascinating thing.
Many stars have planets around them, and that thing along with the new findings of Earth-sized exoplanet TOI-700d has been brought an interesting question to the mind of scholars. What if somebody who lives on those planets is looking at us. And that thing causes interesting theories about the alien civilizations.
But the alien lifeforms are not necessarily intelligent. The intelligent lifeforms are not forming if the planet is too friendly for the lifeforms. And if the conditions of the alien planet are too stable, the advantage of the intelligent lifeform would not start. The stable environment means that a large number of descendants is enough because the food must not search. And the progression of intelligence requires that there is some benefit to this kind of skill.
And maybe the advantage of the intelligence was the ability to find the food, and the abstract thinking was forming, because it was a good thing, when creatures tried to predict, where is the food, and when the predators came in the same place. So the catastrophes and extinctions in history caused that some monkeys got the ability to abstract thinking and other kinds of skills.
The hypothetical reason why the intelligent lifeform could turn intelligent on a planet that orbits the red dwarf.
But if we are thinking about my favorite thing M-type stars and their locked planets, we must think would evolution create intelligent species to those planets rather than some paradise? The M-type stars are so-called flare stars and the life on those locked planets must always worry about the eruptions of the red dwarfs. So when the eruption of that M-type star starts every organism should go to cover.
What if some creature continues as active, and then just collects the food from the ground during the eruption. That thing would be the automatized instinct-based reflex of those hypothetical creatures. And if some species would turn intelligent, that moment would give that creature superiority to other creatures. But the thing is that this creature should not have the reflex, what locks while the star erupts.
So that hypothetical creature could live on the dark or night side of that planet. This thing requires that it would have big eyes and white skin. And if that nigh-side creature would want to go to dayside, that thing requires a protective suit, because the light would burn the skin of that creature, what lives in the dark. In a locked planet the night stays forever, and at the dayside, the temperature would be very hot. But if there is liquid water on those planets the cloud layer will decrease temperature.
And if some of those creatures would be intelligent, that moment when other species would be under the ground or covered with slime, what protects them against intensive heat that intelligent creature can simply collect the food from the ground during the flare eruption. And after that, the rains are covering the entire dayside when temperature decreases. But that thing requires clothes or an umbrella, which protects our hypothetical species against that eruption. So this kind of thing would make the SETI-research interesting.
