Humanity did not evolve to maximum efficiency, argued astronomer Frank Drake, creator of the famous Drake’s Equation (used to quantify the existence of extraterrestrials), at a San Francisco launch event for “Spore” last night.

Drake unveiled his own “Spore” creation, dubbed the “Supersapien,” in front of an enthused crowd huddled into a new, not-yet-opened science museum.

The Supersapien has four arms and a mouth near its stomach (the version we later found on the Sporepedia was lacking this, however). “It’s a waste to use this long esophagus,” he said. There’s another mouth used for breathing and speaking. It also has an eye in the back of its head, which he joked would only occur in the female variety.

MTV Multiplayer has “Spore” on the brain lately. Look for plenty more coverage of Will Wright’s opus very soon.
