   The idea that life developed only once in the galaxy and then
spread through space is quite old.  In fact E. E. "Doc" Smith used it
in the Lensman series to explain the rapid devlopment of almost
identical species throughout the two galaxies.  I believe this is
referred to as the "Pansperamatic" theory of the development of life.
