I hadn't considered that! That makes me wonder... Is that likely to be true for most forms of life? I wonder if there's some physical constraint that makes this likely. I suppose I won't know in my lifetime. It's also probably not so significant that we're close to the middle; maybe it's just my ape brain finding significance in arbitrary figures.
If I were to guess before, I think I would have estimated humanity was in the lower 10%. I suppose I was mostly thinking in terms of the Kelvin scale.
It's fascinating to consider how staggering the scale goes in either direction, now. Absolutely bizarre.
