    Animals that live in water will never develop technology, as they can’t make fire, so that’s an evolutionary dead end.

    Also, you need a way to manipulate material, so hands and arms/appendages are also going to be a prerequisite.

    My bet is that the first advanced alien species discovered will be giant land crabs with hands instead of pincers.
